A Model to Guide the Open Government Data Implementation in Public Agencies

This paper presents a model to diagnose maturity and capabilities of public agencies (pas) in pursuing the open data principles and practices. the open data maturity model, called od-mm, was piloted in ten pas from three latin american countries, validating in this way the web tool that operationalizes the model. this web tool is a valuable diagnostic tool for pa's, since it shows all weaknesses and provides the instrument (a roadmap) to progress in the implementation of open data. we also propose a guide to implement open data in pas. this guide is the result of the od-mm application in latin american pas. the guide is simple and orients decision makers so that pas following the actions of the guide can see their improved capacities when facing a diagnosis of their institutional maturity in the implementation of open data.
