Analysis of datasets and catalogs in government open portals of the Argentine Republic

Abstract

This paper analyzes the quality of the data in the data sets presented in the open portal sites of the Argentine Republic, considering the portal of the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires (C.A.B.A) and the decentralized organizations of the country. The objective is to show results compared to the analysis of the data sets published in the open portals, with some important considerations when maintaining, managing and reusing systems, in order to generate added value to the community. Finally, the open data catalogs are validated, using a Python library (pydatajson), to verify if they comply with a standard catalog structure, proposed by the government of the Argentine Republic.
