Abstract

The principles of open data and the five-star model allow companies to develop low-cost services and Public Administrations (PA) to improve efficiency. However, the process of implementing open data models and principles is not easy unless it is supported by an appropriate technology platform. Today there is a huge number of technological platforms which each promise to be the ideal solution for opening data. Current solutions (commercial or free) do not provide users with easy access to data, nor tools for analysing and displaying data. In this paper, we discuss the potential of the DAF (Data Analytics Framework), a project based on big data, which was created by the Italian government in 2017 and which fosters the integration and standardisation of data, as well as providing three powerful tools for analysis and data visualisation. The paper will then illustrate a concrete case of dashboard development within the DAF, released at an important hackathon organised by the Italian PA sector in October 2017. The project serves as a use case in DAF implementation, where its analytical tools are used for data analysis & visualisation. They also translate a large amount of data into simple representations and use clear and effective language.
