Información de la administración general del estado en la era digital: Publicaciones oficiales

Abstract

Governments produce, disseminate, preserve and reuse information in order to carry out the public services entrusted to them. They make use of the so-called official publications to disseminate information about public policies. We use the term publications in the sense that this word has attained in the digital era, that is, any digital resource online, including web pages from departments. The Spanish Administration provides two key elements of information about its publishing activity: the Catalogue of Publications of the General Administration of the State and the Guide to official publishers. The organizational developments for preserving and reuse the valuable and extensive information of the Spanish Public Sector are still pending, but the current regulatory gaps are in the process of being resolved.
