Open Government Data (OGD) is a technology platform adopted by governments to meet new society demands. This theme is based on the assumptions of transparency, collaboration and participation. It is believed that from these initiatives, it is possible to generate activities of economic and social value through the use of public data by society. However, some challenges emerge for the effective achievement of these objectives. They include a series of factors, among which we highlight: technical problems related to the handling of information within government structures, political principles of each government, priorities of government actions, legal issues and aspects related mainly to the interest and use of this information by society. Thus, the main purpose of this study is to identify and describe the activities developed along the value chain of open government data.
