Resumo(s)
Data can have immense public value, and although Open Data has been made available on the internet
mostly by governments and public institutions having as a main justification the “public interest”, most
of what is turned public, is done so in formats not suitable to the eyes of most of the public which they
are aimed to. The high level of digital literacy needed to turn this data into useful information continues
to keep virtually inaccessible what was supposed to be Open Data. This work aims exclusively on data
over the education sector, but this situation is also true for data involving other sectors of organized
society. This Open Data which is virtually “locked data” have grave relevance to students, parents, and
society. This work aims to give a humble step towards exploring the lack of accessibility for information
extracted from Open Data on the Portuguese educational sector to collect data that are relevant to
future graduates on the choice for a university aiming to create a platform where these students can
access visualizations linked to key decision factors relevant when choosing a place to study, including
information about the city, the country, and the university. This way, this work intends also to create
encouragement to more initiatives which can help to “translate” data for the good of the broad public.
