Data quality evaluation in open data in the municipality context: A systematic literature review

Abstract

Nowadays, governments often share their data with the citizens through diverse digital platforms. This sharing of data, which has no restrictions or costs, has been called open government data. The increased use of this kind of data poses several challenges, such as the quality of the provided data. It becomes necessary to evaluate factors like the reliability, integrity, and accuracy of data and apply guidelines and metrics to ensure its quality for the intended use. This article presents the realization of a systematic literature review to research existing proposals focused on evaluating open government data quality at a municipal level. As a result of this review, 56 articles have been identified. These are presented based on 3 posed research questions.
