The site was

built by a community network</a> pulled together by three
technicians from the Ministry of Planning. They managed the group from

<a href="http://ckan.org/">CKAN</a> was chosen because it is free
software and presents independent solutions for the placement of
a data catalog of the Federal Government provided on the internet.</p>
<p> <strong>Elements:</strong> </p>
<ul>
<li><b><i>Domains:</i></b> federal budget, addresses, Infrastructure
information, e-gov tools usage, social data, geographic information,
political information, Transport information.</li>
<li><b><i>Domains:</i></b> federal budget, expenditure, procurement,
contracts, agreements, consumer protection, infrastructure
information, government property, e-gov tools usage, social data,
geographic information, political information, financial data,
performance indicators, environment data, transport information,
and others.</li>
<li><b><i>Obligation/motivation:</i></b> Data that must be provided to
the public under a legal obligation, the called LAI or Brazilian
Information Access Act, edited in 2012.</li>
<li><b><i>Usage: </i></b>Data that is the basis for services to the
public; Data that has commercial reuse potential.</li>
<li><b><i>Quality:</i></b> Authoritative, clean data, vetted and
guaranteed.</li>
Information Access Act, enacted in 2011, in effect since 2012.</li>
<li><b><i>Usage: </i></b>Enable government entities to publish data
in one place where citizens can find data they need; Data that is
the basis for services to the public; Data that has commercial
reuse potential.</li>
<li><b><i>Quality:</i></b> Much of the data is realized properly,
with complete or near complete metadata. However, some data
imported from National Infrastructure of Spatial Data, an earlier
initiative for geospatial data, lack proper metadata or have
unavailable resources.</li>
<li><b><i>Lineage/Derivation:</i></b> Data came from various
publishers. As a catalog, the site has faced several challenges, one
of them was to integrate the various technologies and formulas used
by publishers to provide datasets in the portal.</li>
<li><b><i>Type/format:</i></b> Tabular data, text data.</li>
<li><b><i>Type/format:</i></b> At the time of writing: HTML (925),
CSV (889), ESRI Shapefile (740), GeoJSON (740), KML (740),
XML (279), JSON (271), XLS (15) xlsx (7), ods (4),
RDF-based formats (2)</li>
<li><b><i>Rate of change:</i></b> There is fixed data and data with
high rate of change.</li>
</ul>
<p> <strong>Challenges:</strong> </p>
<ul>
<li>Data integration (lack of vocabularies).</li>
<li>Collaborative construction of the portal: managing online sprints
and balancing public expectatives.</li>
<li>Collaborative construction of the portal: managing online
sprints, constant influx and absenteeism of volunteers
and balancing public expectations.</li>
<li>Licensing the data of the portal. Most of data that is in the
portal does not have a special licence so there are types of license
applied to different datasets.</li>
<li>Promoting organizational change (as organizational culture tends
to resist open data)</li>
<li>Getting the word out about open data to build understanding and
engagement both inside government and in civil society, as the
concept of open data is not yet wide spread in Brazil even after
years of implementation on many different levels of government</li>
<li>Improving the legal framework for making open data ubiquitous</li>
<li>handling (collaboration, standardization, agreements, etc.) of
open data policies across different levels (national, state,
municipal) and powers/branches (executive, legislative, judicial)
which are constitutionally independent</li>
<li>Securing proper resources (human, funding), especially under a
government financial crisis, for open data activities both at central
policy level and for projects within organizations</li>
<li>Getting the government organizations that still resist to work
with open data to start releasing/cataloguing/documenting open data</li>
<li>Improving the quality of already released open data</li>
<li>Keeping already released open data up-to-date</li>
<li>Improving the quality and accuracy of metadata and documentation
about already released open data</li>
<li>Breaking down resistance set up by public IT companies that have
a business model of charging for access to data</li>
<li>Getting private businesses to harness the potential of open data
to reach new markets and build new or improve upon existing business
models</li>
<li>Improving data literacy skills among journalists and the general
population</li>
<li>Fostering further usage of already released open data by civil
society</li>
<li>Educating prospective users of open data on often esoteric
subjects of government activities that are released as open data
(such as budget)</li>
<li>Rresearching/developing/applying visualization tools and create
data stories to make open data easier to comprehend for lay people</li>
<li>Fostering new research, while also helping spread the word about
and applying existing academic research about open data</li>
<li>Experimenting with and developing methodologies for harnessing
the benefits of civil society participation in digital government
policy design and implementation (including prioritising datasets,
building plans, etc.)</li>
<li>Getting a feedback loop to happen between data publishers and
data users, and use this to improve the data</li>
