Data Policy

Public access to government information is an important aspect of modern society that allows an active participation of the population in monitoring government actions. Decree No. 8.777, signed on May 11, 2016, establishes the Open Data Policy of the Brazilian Federal Government. From this, the entities of the federal public administration, autarchic and foundational are obliged to make data available in open format. However, many of these institutions are failing to meet the commitments set out in the Decree. One possible explanation for this low number is the need for the technical team to have a good knowledge of their information systems and current legislation, allied to the difficulty of extracting the data, since in most institutions the whole process of data extraction, processing and publication of open data is done manually. In this sense, this work presents the OpenData Processor, an automation tool for the process of extracting, publishing and updating open data that brings agility in the publication and periodical updating, saving time and facilitating the management of open data portals.

Data Policy

Open data, a concept that has recently came to prominence frequently, is generally the sort of data which could be accessed by any user fast and conveniently, easy-to-process, alter, utilize, share, and which does not subject to any copyright issue. Application of open data in public administration is expected to yield substantial benefits such as introduction of open, transparent, and accountable services in public administration, low-cost and efficient utility of public resources, establishing trust-worthy environment to increase participation of citizens, reduction of bureacracy and lumpishness in public administration, and creating more efficient public policies. In Turkey, studies on open data have commenced in 2011 through nurous reports and programs, and the Office of Digital Transformation was founded. From this point, the present study will first consider concepts about open data, its benefit in terms of public administration, open data practices and position of Turkish public administration in terms of open data.

Public Access Catalogs

As federal government information is increasingly migrating to online formats, libraries are providing links to this content via URLs or persistent URLs (PURLs) in their online public access catalogs (OPACs). Clickthrough statistics that accumulated as users visited links to online content in the University of Denver’s library OPAC were gathered over a six-year period and were analyzed. Among the conclusions were that DU users prefer online content over print for both newer and older documents and that there is great benefit in adding URLs above and beyond the URLs supplied by GPO cataloging.

Practical Implications

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate how to apply traditional information retrieval (IR) evaluation methods based on standards from the Text REtrieval Conference and web search evaluation to all types of modern library information systems (LISs) including online public access catalogues, discovery systems, and digital libraries that provide web search features to gather information from heterogeneous sources. Design/methodology/approach The authors apply conventional procedures from IR evaluation to the LIS context considering the specific characteristics of modern library materials. Findings The authors introduce a framework consisting of five parts: search queries, search results, assessors, testing, and data analysis. The authors show how to deal with comparability problems resulting from diverse document types, e.g., electronic articles vs printed monographs and what issues need to be considered for retrieval tests in the library context. Practical implications The framework can be used as a guideline for conducting retrieval effectiveness studies in the library context. Originality/value Although a considerable amount of research has been done on IR evaluation, and standards for conducting retrieval effectiveness studies do exist, to the authors’ knowledge this is the first attempt to provide a systematic framework for evaluating the retrieval effectiveness of twenty-first-century LISs. The authors demonstrate which issues must be considered and what decisions must be made by researchers prior to a retrieval test.
