Abstract

Current policies demanding an increase in transparency, open government and smart cities share open data publication as one of their basic pillars. However, there is a limited availability of mechanisms to assess the use and value of this information. The goal of this paper is to present a new metric, Meloda, that qualifies the information and helps to assess its reusability. Meloda´s four dimensions are described: technical standards, access, legal considerations, and data model. Finally Meloda´s assessment process is explained.
