    Case study : open government data in Rio de Janeiro city
    (2014-08) Matheus, Ricardo; Maia Ribeiro, Manuella
    This case study of Rio de Janeiro examines challenges for local public sector organizations in terms of agenda setting, formulation of public policy, implementation and evaluation channels/models. It has six further sections related to: emergence of open data policy; policy design; supply and information resources; users; impacts; and final considerations. In 2014 the Open Data Portal of Rio de Janeiro was launched, alongside the Decree of Open Government and Data of the City Hall. More bottom-up elements would help create balance between public participation in open data usage via civil society and highly trained teams, to enhance transparency inside the government.

    Measuring open data’s impact of Brazilian national and sub-national budget transparency websites and its impacts on people’s rights
    (INESC, 2014-07) Craveiro, Gisele; Tavares, Marcelo; Beghin, Nathalie; Zigoni, Carmela
    The study analyzes provision of data and transparency of information regarding budget execution through portals of Brazilian capital cities, as well as on the websites of the Office of the Comptroller General and the Senate “Siga Brasil” site. The research has two specific agendas: developing and conducting a survey designed to check the quality of budget data made available through open data government portals and; making a quantitative comparison based on open data principles, applicable codes of practice, regulations and laws. In Brazil, availability of data on public management has increased since the Access to Information Act (2011).

    Open data and sub-national governments : lessons from developing countries
    (2015-06) Canares, Michael; Shekhar, Satyarupa
    This synthesis paper aims to refocus the discussion of open government data in sub-national contexts (provinces, cities, municipalities) by analyzing nine country papers produced through the Open Data in Developing Countries research project. Study findings show there is substantial effort on the part of sub-national governments and local level governance to proactively disclose data, however, the data quality and quality of access delimits citizen participation and use. Data quality remains a critical challenge in developing countries and tempers the potential impact that open data is able to generate.

    Open Data and Sub-national Governments: Lessons from Developing Countries
    (World Wide Web Foundation, Washington, D.C., 2015-06) Canares, Michael; Shekhar, Satyarupa
    In decentralized contexts, the local is where data is collected and stored, where there is strong feasibility that data will be published, and where data can generate the most impact when used. This synthesis paper analyzes nine country papers produced through the Open Data in Developing Countries (ODDC) research project. It is structured in four parts: introduction to ODDC; literature review; summary of findings; conclusions and recommendations. Some critical questions explored are: Who are the users of government data? What data do users need? What mechanisms are in place for data access? How are these mechanisms established and implemented?

    Open data in legislative : the case of São Paulo City Council
    (World Wide Web Foundation, Washington, D.C., 2014-07) Matheus, Ricardo; Maia Ribeiro, Manuella
    This paper is part of the multi-country study “Opening the cities: Open Government Data in local governments of Argentina, Brazil and Uruguay” and highlights the local initiative of São Paulo City Council. The City Council adopted an open data policy in 2011 with all decisions about open government data (OGD) flowing top-down: data and how it is supplied are defined by the government. Although it was found that members or organizations from civil society appeared to be crucial for open data development, Sao Paulo City Council has not created any official forum for them to contribute to open data policy.

São Paulo City Council is highlighted, drawing information from the emergence of open data policy, policy design, information provision, resources, users, and impacts. Although civil society organizations appear to be crucial to open data development in Sao Paulo City, city council has no official forum for input from them regarding its open data policy.

    Open data, public budget and its relations to people’s rights in Brazil
    (World Wide Web Foundation, Washington, D.C., 2014-07) Beghin, Nathalie; Zigoni, Carmela
    Results of a quantitative survey confirm findings of the qualitative research, regarding the need to improve the process of opening up data in Brazil. Accessible information is usually not complete, timely and/ or reliable. However, despite limitations of access to proper data, intermediaries believe that as a result of opening up data, progress has been made in the field of human rights. The Institute for Socioeconomic Studies (INESC) undertook the research to measure the impact on people’s rights of Brazilian national and sub-national budget transparency websites under the Open Data for Developing Countries (ODDC) initiative of the World Wide Web Foundation.

    Open government data in Rio de Janeiro City : case study
    (World Wide Web Foundation, Washington, D.C., 2014-08) Matheus, Ricardo; Maia Ribeiro, Manuella
    This case study of Rio de Janeiro (Brazil) examines the challenges for local public sector organizations in terms of agenda setting, formulation of public policy, implementation and evaluation channels/models for Open Government Data (OGD) initiatives. The report looks at a variety of open data efforts in the city. The top-down design of the city open data policy results in a fast decision making process for data release, (such as for weather and flooding alerts) but it leaves little space for discussion regarding types of data released, particularly with respect to transparency data. Public participation could increase with inclusion of “bottom-up” elements.

    Opening cities : open data in Buenos Aires, Montevideo and Sao Paulo
    (World Wide Web Foundation, Washington, D.C., 2014-07) Fumega, Silvana
    The research is part of a broader project on the impact of Open Data policies in Developing Countries (ODDC). Each report seeks to identify how open government data (OGD) policies emerge, and explores the impacts of these policies. This paper provides an overview of the Open Government Data initiative in the City of Buenos Aires. “Buenos Aires Data” is the government data catalogue, which publishes datasets in digital reusable formats, and around which applications are built linking other events and activities such as transportation and culture. However, data types, usability and transparency are found to be limited.

    Opening cities : open data in Buenos Aires, Montevideo and Sao Paulo; report - city of Buenos Aires, Open Government Data initiative
    (2014-07) Fumega, Silvana
    This paper provides an overview of the Open Government Data (OGD) initiative in the City of Buenos Aires. Buenos Aires Data publishes datasets in digital reusable formats, around which other activities of the Office of Information and Open Government are created. In practice, OGD initiatives can seem closer to the ideas of the ‘smart cities’ label than to the principles of Open Government. While a city may offer new ways of access to the public services they deliver, it may also not be providing information and institutional channels for citizens and organizations to know how those services are funded and implemented.
