Abstract
El artículo analiza los cambios experimentados en la manera en que el sector público gestiona la información, hasta ahora la acumulaba para su uso exclusivo, ahora la produce con el fin de ponerla a disposición de los ciudadanos. Esta transformación es resultado de las Tecnologías de la Información y de las Comunicaciones, su uso ha cambiado las relaciones entre instituciones y ciudadanos, estos son ahora demandantes de información y el Gobierno es uno de sus mejores proveedores. Asimismo, la posibilidad de ofrecer los datos públicos abiertos convierte esa información en un activo abundante y barato. Esa versatilidad de la información supone una modificación de la definición tradicional del documento y dibuja una clara diferencia entre los conceptos de documentación e información.
This article analyzes the changes in information management by the public sector. Traditionally, information was accumulated for official use only but now it is generated for offering to the public. This transformation is the result of information technology and communications, whose use has changed the relationship between governmental institutions and citizens. These are now demanding information and Government has become one of their best suppliers. Similarly, the possibility of providing open public data converts this information into an abundant and free asset. Such information versatility involves a modification of the traditional definition of document and draws a clear distinction between the concepts of documentation and information.
