Context and Objectives
This commitment aims to create an open data ecosystem to promote effective usage of public data, an issue identified during the consultation phase as a critical challenge to advancing open data adoption in Brazil. [12] The effective use of open data has been identified as a key area for promoting open government, [13] and research has shown the importance of supporting an open data ecosystem to increase open data use. [14]
To address this usage problem, the commitment aims to foster the disclosure and usage of federal, state, and municipal government data to meet society’s demands. This includes co-creating with civil society a model for disclosing data (Milestones 2.1−2.6) and promoting the model among the different levels of government (2.7−2.9). Consequently, the commitment is relevant to access to information, given the improved data standards and the dissemination of the reference model. It is also relevant to the value of civic participation, given the co-creation nature of Milestone 2.1 and the public consultation component of Milestone 2.6. Interviewees agree, arguing the commitment advances transparency by boosting uses of open data. [15] They also note that it advances civic participation by engaging government and nongovernment stakeholders in assessing open data needs. [16] Nevertheless, although the commitment develops a model designed to advance access to information, the commitment falls short of being relevant to this OGP value. It only disseminates the model and does not include concrete steps to put it into practice.
The commitment is specific enough to be verifiable, and all milestones have a specific deliverable. Deliverables include mapping existing ecosystem models (Milestone 2.2), drafting a reference model structure (2.4), and holding a public consultation on the model (2.6).
The commitment has a minor potential impact. It could bring important advances in the adoption of an open data culture across the government. This potential can be achieved if policy implementation milestones are deployed on time and in full. The milestones of the commitment, as designed, do not include policy implementation and stop at the policy dissemination stage.
Next steps
The commitment is highly relevant and should be prioritized in future action plans if it is focused on increasing the adoption and impact of the developed standards. In the views of a civil society representative interviewed, an open data model can create “integration of open datasets amongst national and subnational governments” as well as “more opportunities for civic participation in open data processes.” [17] The commitment also has the potential to “increase the use of data by civil society organizations and companies” and “increase the channels for civil society to require government to open more datasets.” [18] It will also increase the capacity of cities to open data.
To increase the commitment’s potential impact, milestones related to launching and promoting the reference model (2.8 and 2.9) need to be deployed on time and in full. If this is done, there could be an opportunity to understand how the new model is promoting new uses of open datasets for transparency and accountability, and how the implemented model institutionalized civic participation with open data.
