The updated Open Data Portal of the Provincial Council of Castellón
is now live!
 

In June 2022, the Provincial Council of Castellón updated their open
data portal [https://datosabiertos.dipcas.es/pages/portada/]. The
update consists of several new features and datasets.

Firstly, the most significant update to the portal consists of a
completely new design for the webisite’s cover.  The open data
portal team has opted to offer a more visually intuitive redesign of
the home page that supports users’ orientation in the portal. This
includes highlighting specific sections, including data stories,
specific datasets, and dashboards or visualisations.  

Secondly, the update consists of additional data that aims to address
depopulation in the region. A section has been added that is dedicated
to the depopulation of the Castellón territory
[https://datosabiertos.dipcas.es/pages/despoblamiento/]. This includes
all the datasets related to the services provided to the rural
community that aim to combat depopulation. There are currently 6
datasets with information related or linked to the towns in the
interior of the province, including electric vehicle rechanging
points, care centres, Wi-Fi points, and housing in municipalities in
the province. This section has been introduced with the intent of
making users aware of the closest services available to them. It also
highlights the value of open data in providing useful information to
prevent regressive impacts to the population in the short and
long-term. 

Thirdly, the portal’s update includes the visualisation of the
datasets [https://datosabiertos.dipcas.es/pages/developers/]. For each
dataset, users can generate their own graphs and maps that can then be
further shared or embedded through an iFrame or as a widget. 

The main objective of this portal is to enable citizens to freely
access data managed by the local administration. This complements the
Provincial Council of Castellón’s open data strategy
[https://www.dipcas.es/uploads/dipcas/ficheros/1/5bf3f45f1a7473272782918.pdf],
which aims to support the national governments in fostering re-use
[https://datosabiertos.dipcas.es/pages/reutilizadores/] across Spain,
and to advise the staff of the open data portal on how to identify and
develop specific content to be published openly. To achieve the
portal’s objectives, the open data portal team engages in various
activities around open data with (re-)users and interested parties in
Castellón, and at a national level. The intent is to increase the
dissemination, knowledge, and re-use of information based on open
data.
