OPEN DATA REUSE IN SPAIN IV

Abstract

This study is the fourth study on the reuse of open data, carried out with the aim of presenting the current status of research in 2023 and the progress made since the first report in 2017. All of this allows for the development of recommendations and future lines of work that help to generate businesses and services for society. To this end, the open data portals in Spain in 2023 have been identified, and a sample of the datasets they have available as well as the services based on them have been analysed. In addition, a questionnaire was sent to those responsible for the portals in order to analyse some of the characteristics of the open data and its potential for reuse. Specifically, a diagnosis has been made based on the knowledge they have regarding the reuse of their data, the type of innovation that can be promoted with it, the activities to promote its use, the services generated and the creation of value based on the reuse of data. The latest version of the MELODA 5 metric has also been applied to analyse the degree of reusability of open data published in Spanish open data portals. All these diagnoses have enabled an analysis of the opportunities and threats as well as of the strengths and weaknesses, from which certain reflections have been included that can help to build future public data management policies
