As part of its Digital Modernization Plan and in compliance with Ordinance 15.931, the Municipality of Tandil decided to take a key step toward transparency and open public data. To this end, it entrusted onGlobal with the design, development, and implementation of an Open Data Platform, conceived as a meeting point between citizens, institutions, developers, and the media.

The challenge

• Design and implement a modern, secure, and scalable digital solution that would enable:
  • Publish and update hundreds of datasets.
  • Comply with international interoperability standards (DCAT, JSON, RDF, etc.).
  • Offer visualizations and public APIs.
  • Guarantee autonomy for the municipality in the management and maintenance of the system.

Our solution

• Implementation of a hybrid platform:
  • CKAN (Andino) as an open database and catalog manager.
  • WordPress as a public presentation layer, with institutional content, visualizations, and informational sections.
  • Accessible interface design, adaptable to mobile devices and optimized for search engines (SEO friendly).
  • Development of interactive and dynamic visualizations with HTML5 and JavaScript technologies.
  • Incorporation of middleware for real-time open data, allowing dynamic updating from sources such as RAFAM, Excel, and other municipal systems.
  • Installation, configuration, and maintenance of infrastructure servers (email, database, web, API).
  • Implementation of tools for publishing data in multiple formats and building comparative graphics.
  • Technical training for the municipal team in the areas of systems, development, data management, and content.

Results

• Active, interoperable Open Data Platform built entirely with open technologies.
• System ready to host more than 300 datasets, with visualization, download, public APIs, and traceability.
• Municipality trained to maintain and scale the initiative autonomously.
• Alignment with national (SINDAP, Decree 117/2016) and international (W3C DCAT, Linked Open Data) best practices.
• Local and regional benchmark in transparency and reuse of public data.
