Abstract

In this article we present a platform, called DataCollector, which aims fostering of use and appropriateness of open data by different open data ecosystem actors. The DataCollector helps data consumers searching and consuming open data as well as allows data producers to easily register, update and refine their datasets. This platform also allows the collaboration between the actors by providing features to collect and manage feedback about the open data. The proposed platform was evaluated by its viability in cataloging 14 Brazilian open data portals, covering a total of 29,540 datasets. The preliminary results indicate the DataCollector offers a robust solution for cataloging and access to distributed datasets in multiple platforms for open data publication.
