The Open Web Platform is
the collection of open
(royalty-free) technologies
which enables the Web.
Using the Open Web
Platform, everyone has the
right to implement a
software component of the
Web without requiring any
approvals or waiving
license fees.
• Semantics is the study of meaning.
Focuses on the relation between signifiers,
such as words, phrases, signs and symbols
and what they represent, their denotation.

Brazilian Access to Information Law
• III - possibilitar o acesso automatizado por
sistemas externos em formatos abertos,
estruturados e legíveis por máquina;
• III - to enable automated access by
external systems in open formats,
structured and machine readable;
Why the Open Web is important for the
Open Data?
• Decentralized: Anyone can create a website or
a web service. The Web is not governed by any
entity. It's free.
• Transparent: people can view the source code
of the pages and read data from exit points
(API's etc)
• Distributed: Allows Open Data can be
produced, distributed and reused;
FrontEnd - Part of the "front"
Interface design:
Accessibility, ease of access
Usability: ease of use
Data Visualization
Applications by Industry
Monitoring via web
Providing services based on open data
• Exploring the potential of interoperability and
innovation of OpenWeb tools to create new
ways of access to applications and services
through third party services;
• For example: consulting clinics, police stations,
gas, near the ZIP Code of the citizen;
What data should we open? -
Communication interfaces with entities
interested
Public consultation:
polls;
Simple search form;
Social networks;
For example: HTML5 API's, websockets
(notifications etc) among others ...
HTML & CSS:
Structuring, presenting, interoperate at the
user
Scripting and Ajax
geolocation,
graphics
Dynamic data, dynamic update;
Publish and reuse data in an open
format is not trivial task.
• What data should we publish?
• In what format?
• What is priority?
• How to do it?
• What license to use?
