Dados abertos e ciência cidadã em instituições de memória

Abstract

The open science movement, based on the statements of Budapest (2002), Bethesda (2003) and Berlin (2003), and in line with the Sustainable Development Goals, defined by the UN in 2015, aims at accessing scientific literature through free availability and widespread scientific data on the WWW. In memory institutions, the availability of open access content aims to connect with users, in a new form of relationship benefited by the use of Web 2.0 platforms and citizen science projects. The purpose of this article is to identify and map trends in open data and citizen science projects in the National Archives, Library and Museum and to verify whether they are (or not) aligned with their foreign counterparts. It concludes by the still incipient but growing trend in Portugal, which can be partially explained by the fact that the coordination services in these areas do not promote projects on the Web 2.0.
