Description
Summary:The quality of public data made available by governments is a crucial factor in achieving greater transparency and also for such data to be used effectively by society. Several models of quality evaluation of open data portals have been proposed in recent years. The vast majority of these models incorporate manual evaluation processes, which makes it time consuming and expensive to maintain a continuous evaluation of open data portals. In order to verify the reliability of the results generated by an automated evaluation model, a comparative analysis was performed between an automated model and a manual model. The results showed the degree of convergence of the quality criteria of the automated model in relation to the manual evaluation model.
