Project Description

Aletheia is an Open Source project that seeks to encourage both public and private entities to facilitate access to public information so that it can have a more relevant social impact. We use IPFS as our secure File Storage. We'd like to integrate Filecoin to our system. This solution allows keep this public information (dominican republic gov) safe, secure, and always available.

As developers we have seen the need to make use of public information (information in the public domain that should be available and accessible by law) but in the search we quickly realized that although the information is (in part) available, it is not organized in a way that is easy to use (uses that can be from the consultation of the data, to the elaboration of the same for statistical use or to create computer products oriented to citizens. Another problem that we frequently find is the lack of a standard in the format of these files. As well as the use of formats that DO NOT allow the extraction of information. We know that, like us, there are other Dominicans who need to access this data and that is why we decided to develop a REST API to facilitate access and distribution The objective is to create an ecosystem where these files are ALWAYS available, accessible 24 hours a day and accompanied by APIs to facilitate the consumption and exchange of this information, immutable and reliable "single source of truth".

Value

This is a way to get into the governmental institution and promote the use of this tool in the public administration. If i don't do it right, the status quo will keep people uninformed with not reliable access to public information. This project has a level of complexity related to the big data component of it.

Deliverables

Our goal is build a system to store, index, and distribute public information (dominican republic) to the people by using the new technologies to garantee security, availability, and remove any redundant data.
