Desenvolvimento de uma aplicação para a extração de dados abertos

Abstract

The access to and availability of public data in Brazil has gradually increased in recent years, driven by initiatives such as the enactment of the Access to Information Law and the creation of the Brazilian Open Data Portal. However, the platform for making this information available is at the discretion of each public institution, making uniform and centralized access to data difficult. This scenario highlighted the challenges faced by the City Living Lab, which obtains open data in an automated manner from various public platforms. Several projects were developed to assist the Lab in meeting multiple demands, including open data extraction. However, it was not possible to resolve this challenge effectively. One potential solution is developing a proposed web application capable of extracting data from multiple sources in an independent, automated, and user-friendly manner, allowing users to select which data sources to use.
