Blended Integrated Open Data: dados abertos públicos integrados
This work addresses the problem of limited usability of public open data for potential users by providing an integrated platform, though it appears incremental as it focuses on data aggregation and accessibility rather than novel methods.
The BIOD project tackled the high effort required to access and integrate public open data by integrating over 300GB of data with billions of records from various datasets, enabling queries across originally disconnected sources.
While several public institutions provide its data openly, the effort required to access, integrate and query this data is too high, reducing the amount of possible dataset users. The Blended Integrated Open Data (BIOD) project has as objective to ease the access to public Open Data. It integrates and makes available more than 300Gb of data, containing billions of records from different Open Data Sets, allowing to query over them, and thus to retrieve related information from originally disconnected data sets. This paper presents the set of open data available, how to access it and how produce new compatible data to improve the existing data set.
