In this study, an analysis of the Chilean public health response to mitigate the spread of COVID-19 is presented. The analysis is based on the daily transmission rate (DTR). The Chilean response has been based on dynamic quarantines, which are established, lifted or prolonged based on the percentage of infected individuals in the fundamental administrative sections, called communes. This analysis is performed at a national level, at the level of the Metropolitan Region (MR) and at the commune level in the MR according to whether the commune did or did not enter quarantine between late March and mid-May of 2020. The analysis shows a certain degree of efficacy in controlling the pandemic using the dynamic quarantine strategy. However, it also shows that apparent control has only been partially achieved to date. With this policy, the control of the DTR partially falls to 4%, where it settles, and the MR is the primary vector of infection at the country level. For this reason, we can conclude that the MR has not managed to control the disease, with variable results within its own territory.
Open standards and interoperability: GTFS case Standards represent common agreements that allow communication between systems, and by sharing publicly their technical specifications, unrestricted access or implementation, they qualify as open standards. Concepts of Standard and Open ranging from free collaboration agreements up to those meanings that allow charges associated with "reasonable and nondiscriminatory" costs; Aspect that, from our perspective, is not the most important to specify in its formalization. For us, the fundamental importance of the notion of open standard is the interoperability of systems, and in their implications for the field of open data. Many of the challenges we encounter in the world of open data, are associated with little standardization of formats, making it difficult and expensive, as a result, crossing processes of information from different sources.
Opportunities in open data The open source concept emerged as a way to describe the idea that, open and shared access to the code of a program, allows to improve it and consequently, to evolve. This way of collaboration has grown until it became a culture that currently penetrates other scenarios of society, as it is the Open Government. This concept corresponds to the influence that the seeking of "common wealth" has upon institutions and their governors. The same way these are related to the technological, economical and human development of societies. Open data are records that can be freely used, re-used and redistributed by any person. They are subject only, at most, to the requirement to attribute and/or share-alike. In this editorial, we give a brief look at the use of open data, coming from different sources, contribute to the analysis of events, for example, territorial events with the aim of building, among others, indicators that help solve problems of urban planning, socio-spatial segregation, territorial poverty and the effectiveness of political policies in general.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
