awakened the interest of several autonomous regions and municipalities across the country]

It is a software application provided by the City government which carries a significant cost savings and especially noted for its practicality.

Councilman Information Society in the city of Lorca, Juan Francisco Martinez, reported that several administrations have shown interest in the initiative of the city council open data.

The open data initiative, opendata, the City of Lorca, crystallized on its website http://datos.lorca.es has caused interest among governments in recent weeks.

Martinez Carrasco explained that the Department of Information Society has developed software for automated publishing and maintenance of data in open format published on the portal.

It is a work within the process of creating the catalog and open portal of the City of Lorca data.

We are talking about a fruit of the need to establish a process of publication of such data and confirmed the absence of a solution that adapts to the needs that all public institutions required to perform these tasks work.

Opening initiatives consist of public data publishing information held by the public sector in a format that promote reuse by companies, organizations and citizens in general.

These formats should be standardized, non-proprietary and understood by other systems, that is interoperable.

Furthermore, it should allow reuse for commercial or noncommercial purposes.

All this in the wake of Law 37/2007 on the reuse of public sector information and its recent amendment by Law 18/2015, of July 9.

Councilman Information Society has indicated that given the interest shown by several administrations and this software, it is believed necessary by the City Council to make available all public administrations concerned this software for use in their respective portals open data.

Among others, the Autonomous Community of Murcia itself is considering using it for regional data portal is currently being planned.

It also will spread its existence and made available through websites and other municipal administrations in order to facilitate the reuse of solutions developed by the Public Administration.

The Document Sciences Foundation stands as a model to Lorca

Martinez Carrasco reported that this week in the article "Practical Guide to implementation of Open Government in Local Government", which appeared in the Journal documentation, the Documentation Sciences Foundation, cites the open data portal of the City Council as one of the three initiatives highlighted in the local area.

Lorca City Council also participated in the summer course "Open Government and reuse of public information at the local level" at the University Pablo de Olavide, with the paper "The opening of public data in the city of Lorca: practical aspects ", to mark the emerging interest in implementing a project of this nature on a medium-sized City Council, which has tried to explain how he has set local data portal with its own resources, which technology has been used and what were the methodologies used.

This summer course, now in its third edition, is aimed at local technicians, elected officials, students and companies interested in the subject.

Measures to promote the use and understanding of this type of project is an interesting action to be developed within schools.

Specifically it aims to bring open data philosophy school.

To this already made a pilot project in two talks-workshops developed in the IES San Juan Bosco, for training courses "Microcomputer Systems and Networks" and "networked computer systems."

Given the results and the interest will also be developed during the 2015-2016 school year, extending it to other centers, including those without specific training, a Bachelor, as we understand necessary to introduce the culture of work with data, in this case open, since the beginning of education.

Similarly will continue encouraging contact with business associations and individual for the dissemination of these initiatives, both local and regional companies.

Projects like this attempt to foster innovation both external and internal, as the council itself can consume these data for active decision making and better communication between systems from different departments.
