OpenData Processor: uma ferramenta para a automatização do processo de extração e publicação de Dados Abertos

Abstract

Public access to government data is an important aspect of the modern society. It allows the active participation of the population in the monitoration of government actions. Decree No. 8777, signed by the president on May 11, 2016, establishes the Open Data Policy of Brazilian’s Federal Government. According to such decree, the entities of the federal public administration, autarchic and foundational are obliged to make the data available in the open format. However, many of these institutions are re not compliant with the commitments defined in the aforementioned decree. One possible explanation for this is the need for technical staff to have a good knowledge of their information systems and of the current legislation. Moreover, the required tasks to extract and publish data from information systems are, in general, manual. In this sense, this work proposes the a tool to automate the process of extracting, publishing and updating open data. To demonstrate the feasibility of this automation, the integration between SUAP and CKAN was used as a case study.
