Abstract

To increase transparency, encourage citizen participation in decision making, and to respond efficiently, governments make a very important set of information available to their community. This information became even more relevant during COVID-19. However, if these data do not have a high level of quality, information loses reliability. An evaluation to measure data quality of two public files was conducted: “COVID-19. Cases registered in the Argentine Republic.” and “COVID-19 vaccines. Doses administered in the Argentine Republic.” using the model provided by the ISO/IEC 25012 standard and the evaluation process defined by ISO/IEC 25040.
