Fecha de la noticia: 09-12-2024
The YouTube channel of datos.gob.es (@datosgob) has been revamped with the aim of improving the user experience. Thanks to an updated design and the addition of new playlists, the channel facilitates access to content related to data and innovative technologies in a more intuitive and efficient way.
What can you find on the datos.gob.es YouTube channel?
Through various lists, the videos are grouped into thematic categories, making it easier to locate topics of interest and contributing to a more user-friendly navigation. Below, we present each of the lists that you can find on the channel:
1. Learn about data
This playlist is oriented towards educational content related to the world of data and related technologies. Here you can find videos that explain in a simple way basic concepts, current trends, technical specifications and other interesting topics. The aim of this section is to provide content accessible to all, regardless of their level of knowledge in the area of data.
For example, you will find videos with explanations on the impact of open data on society, illustrated through concrete use cases, or good practices for facing a data analytics project. You will also be able to access content related to the UNE Data Specifications, which are normative and informative resources for implementing common data governance, management and quality processes.
With this list, the aim is to provide education to the audience and increase awareness of the potential of data.

2. Get to know datos.gob.es
The second playlist, "Conoce datos.gob.es", focuses on providing specific information about the portal and its functions. Here you will find videos explaining technical, administrative or navigation aspects related to the use of the datos.gob.es platform.
With these videos, public bodies can, for example, find out how to create a user account and be able to automatically publish open datasets on the portal. On the other hand, for those who want to reuse the data, there are short videos showing how to use the API of datos.gob.es, the SPARQL point or the widget, among others.
It is a list designed for those who need practical guidance to use the portal efficiently.

3. Interviews
The channel also includes a playlist featuring conversations in question-and-answer format with leading professionals in various data-related areas. These videos are an opportunity to listen to specialists and hear their opinions on topics such as digitisation, artificial intelligence or the use of data in different sectors.
Among the interviewees, we find representatives from the public sector, who explain their data openness strategies, the functionalities available in their open data platforms or the challenges they have faced in making various datasetsavailable to the public. Interviews with private companies with data sharing initiatives (such as Microsoft, Meta or Google) have also been published, communities of data reusers (such as R Ladies or R Hispano) or foundations and associations linked to data use and innovation (such as ASEDIE or the COTEC Foundation).
This list is aimed at those who want to learn more about publishing and using data through testimonials, experiences and examples.
4. Reports
This list presents interviews with authors of guides, reports and studies produced within the framework of the Aporta Initiative and included in the "Documentation" section of datos.gob.es. In these videos, interviewees answer specific questions related to the content of their reports, allowing viewers to understand the highlights of each document.
Available videos explain guidelines such as "Synthetic data:". What are they and what are they used for?" or "Introduction to data anonymisation: techniques and case studies", among other reports.
This approach makes it easier to understand the topics covered and allows the audience to discover which reports they can dig into to learn more about the issues they are interested in.
5. Data science exercises
On the datos.gob.es portal you can find a series of exercises that make use of the open data available on the platform itself or other similar catalogs. They address and describe the steps necessary to obtain the data, perform the relevant transformations and analysis, and draw conclusions, so that users can replicate the exercise in a simple way using free tools. All the material generated is available for reuse in the GitHub repository of datos.gob.es.
The “Data Science Exercises” playlist offers videos in which the author of each exercise exposes the contents that users will find in the exercise. These videos are designed to provide practical and straightforward guidance for performing interactive visualisations, building an expert assistant or performing predictive analytics, among others.
It is an excellent choice for users who want to learn and practice data science, applying concepts in real scenarios in an effective way.

6. Podcasts
Another new feature is the incorporation of a playlist with clips from the podcasts produced by datos.gob.es and available on the SoundCloud platform.
These videos present selected excerpts from podcasts in which speakers talk about a variety of topics, always related to data and its impact on society. The podcasts are accompanied by related images, offering a complementary visual experience.
Thanks to these clips, users will be able to discover what high-value data is or where to locate data with a geographic component.
This is an alternative for those who want to discover highlights before listening to a full podcast.

7. Desafíos Aporta
The Aporta Challenges are competitions aimed at identifying and recognising new ideas and prototypes that improve efficiency in a specific sector of activity through solutions based on the use of open data.
There are four playlists linked to the Aporta Challenges, one for each edition held so far. For easy identification, each video has the logo of the corresponding edition on the cover.
These lists include guides on how to participate, interviews with participants or videos summarising the development of each competition.

8. Encuentros Aporta
Finally, the channel also has several playlists that collect the materials generated in each of the Encuentros Aporta, conferences focused on different topics of interest related to data.
Following a structure similar to that of "Desafíos Aporta", each list includes videos of different nature, such as summaries, full papers and interviews with participants from each available edition (the first two editions were not recorded). To make it easier to find, each video also carries the logo of the corresponding edition on its cover, allowing viewers to quickly identify the content of each encounter.
