Abstract

Based on a brief review of the most recent evolution stages of the public management, emphasizing the role that information management has had in them, the open government model is introduced as a tool of the collaborative government to form an objectively informed society. With this aim, the pillars of the open government model are explained, finding open government data as its main ally to make government's actions transparent and involve citizenship in the decision-making process. We conclude locating intermediary agents (including librarians) as bridging agents joining open government data and population through the development of platforms and skills included in the data-literacy concept.
