Summary: The escalation in the opening of government data is a phenomenon originated from long debates about the modernization of the State, counting, nowadays, with several world governments publishing a vast informational content on the network. Based on this finding, the research is motivated to understand the challenges imposed on the public administration in publishing data in line with the open movement from the perspective of data portals. The objective of this research was to propose a governance model aimed at the quality of data published in a web environment, with a focus on making government informational resources available with scope, consistency, efficiency, and
transparency. The methodology was divided into three phases, the first being a bibliographical and documentary research showing the historical background of the data opening movement, together with a current panorama of initiatives, stages of evolution and challenges, which led to the conduction of a pre-test in open data portals in the US, UK, Brazil and Ireland, serving as input for defining the fundamental analytical dimensions to the proposition of the governance model. In the second stage, the maturity diagnosis for the open data portals selected was exposed, being validated in the same portals of the pre-test. The validation results indicated that openness initiatives lack broader and more effective data policies, lack political commitment to put into practice formalized action plans, little transparency in the execution of actions, and insufficient social involvement in their formulation. In the third phase, the results were treated, generating the necessary inferences for the elaboration of the governance model aimed at data quality for network publication, which is based on the results obtained in the previous steps. The model will allow governments to build comprehensive and consistent data policies, mitigating publication barriers, and accordingly empowering and encouraging managers
and public officials to publish data with greater quality, benefiting the open movement and society.
