Centralize open data catalogues through website (ES0080)

What is the problem/need that is desired to resolve with the commitment? In the Canary Islands, there are many open data repositories managed individually by various public bodies. This situation is associated with the following problems: ‐ High volume of data catalogues belonging to different decentralised administrative levels. ‐ Published data to be reused without forming part of any catalogue. ‐ Difficulty when searching for data about specific topics, due to the existence of data scattered in different catalogues depending on the competencies and responsibilities of the administrations. ‐ Classification structures and non‐homogeneous formats. In addition, in order to be able to emphasize the large volume of open data generated by the public entities in the Government of the Canary Islands and to promote an efficient management at the national level, it is recommended that a progressive unification of the open data catalogues of public entities of the Autonomous Region be carried out in a single access point. In addition, the need to centralise the open data generated by the different levels of the bodies of the Public Administration of the Government of the Canary Islands has been identified in order to optimise the federation and integration procedure of the open data of the Canary Islands with the data catalogue of the Government of Spain. Finally, this commitment seeks to cover the need to apply optimisation measures in managing the open data generated by the public bodies of the Government of the Canary Islands so that, on the one hand, it is able to emphasize and manage in a more efficient manner the open data available, and on the other, to streamline the centralisation process of open data of the public sector of the Government of the Canary Islands within the National Open Data Website.

Objectives of the commitment ‐ To foster the joint publication of data from the Public Administrations of the Government of the Canary Islands and increase the degree of openness and reuse. ‐ To increase the reuse of the information published by the Public Administrations of the Government of the Canary Islands, thanks to the visibility that this information contributes that is present on the open data Website of the Government of Spain. ‐ To improve the quality of the open data published by the different Public Administration of the Government of the Canary Islands. ‐ Establishment of collaboration strategies with other local entities that want to adhere to the Open Data Website of the Canary Islands.

Brief description of the commitment Centralisation of the open data catalogues generated or held by the different Public Administrations of the Canary Islands through the Open Data Website of the Canary Islands, which at the same time, will be federated with the Open Data Website of the Government of Spain.

How does the commitment contribute to solve the problem or cover the need? 191 Through the process of federation and integration of data in one single end access point of the data, independently of their administrative origin, the following is achieved: ‐ Improved finding and accessibility of open data. ‐ Applying homogenization processes of formats and categorisation of open data. ‐ Favouring the establishment of optimum protocols and languages for reusing data. ‐ Ensuring the interoperability of open data. ‐ Promoting the automation and efficient management of open data. ‐ Favouring the constant updating of information. ‐ Providing greater visibility and ease of access to the existing data sets. ‐ Positioning, at the national and international level, the open data of the Canary Islands. In summary, this commitment contributes to simplify the updating procedures of the information generated by the public entities of the Canary Islands and guarantees that any interested user can access the information generated.

Why is the commitment relevant with respect to the values of Open Government? It promotes, strengthens and improves the quality of participation in the public management, allowing the citizenship to participate in making public decisions with the objective of achieving better results and better democratic quality Providing a single point of open data access of the Canary Islands contributes to the promotion and optimisation of the data openness processes, characterised by the "universal participation" through which is suggested that all people should be able to use, reuse and redistribute open public information, based on the conditions established for them; without being subject to any type of discrimination or commercial restrictions or of use for specific purposes. It delves deeper into transparency, open data and accountability of Public Administrations through carrying out actions aimed at its improvement and the evaluation of the results of the plans and programmes Having centralised open data and homogeneous and standardised procedures of their management facilitates the follow‐up and monitoring of data openness processes, which at the same time allows knowing to what degree the open data actions are contributing to transparency and accountability of the public sector. It contributes to building a system of public integrity, strengthening the ethical values and mechanisms to bolster the integrity of the public institutions and reinforce the trust of the citizenship The centralisation of open data favours the construction of a system of public integrity because it promotes the construction of a common space to share and provide access to any person interested to public information. It raises awareness among society and civil servants about the values of Open Government, contributing to the fulfilment of the Sustainable Development Goals of the 2030 Agenda in order to advance towards a just, peaceful and inclusive society The practise of transparency of the activities, openness of high‐value democratic data, proactive promotion of citizen participation among the population, as well as the accountability by the governments constitutes the base for achieving better societies: inclusive, peaceful and more just. Providing society the data of their interest contributes to achieving and executing ideas and applications by the citizenship, thus generating value that is returned to the public administrations that allows developing a smart governance model thereof.
