Abstract

Tasks performed by government agencies produce exorbitant amounts of raw data daily. However, the value that these data could provide for society's different sectors can be lost if they are not properly collected and managed. Even with the adoption of data opening policies, institutions still face problems in the efficient use and interpretation of this data due to lack of training, appropriate tools, or cultural factors. In this work, we propose the construction of a mobile application to view data from the Open Data Portal in Recife. The application is based on an open data visualization recommendation framework, which can analyze the data types of the fields in a given data set to make the appropriate visualization type recommendation.

Keywords: Data Visualization, Open Government Data, Data-Driven Public Management
