Reuse of Cultural Open Data in Data Governance in Smart Cities: A Study Using Data from the Arquivo Nacional

estudo com dados do Arquivo Nacional

Abstract

Data governance is fundamental to the development and actions of smart cities because they utilize technologies and data integration to optimize the management of public and private services, aiming to improve urban mobility, reduce resource consumption, and promote social well-being through immediate and predictive actions. However, it is observed that cultural data, specifically cultural heritage data, are underutilized in the context of smart cities. The overall objective of this work is to demonstrate, using a spreadsheet from the National Archives, the potential for reusing open data as a tool for data governance. Specifically, this study seeks to: present the concepts, principles, and importance of data governance in the context of smart cities; demonstrate how this data can be reused to disseminate knowledge efficiently, using interactive dashboards. A dashboard was developed in Power BI presenting the data. In conclusion, data governance, combined with the use of cultural data and technology, offers a promising path for the development of smart cities, allowing culture and history to not only be preserved, but also explored and reused for the benefit of society.
