(CentroGeo) and have been coordinated by the National Council of Humanities\, Science s and Technologies (Conahcyt)\, which is the Mexican government institutio n responsible for establishing public policies on humanities\, sciences\, technologies and innovation throughout the country.\n\n\nARTICULATION WITH ENI\n\nConahcyt created the National Informatics Ecosystems (ENI) to make available the results of research funded by the state\, publishing open d ata\, information visualizations\, analysis and maps that help citizens be tter understand the country in which they live. \n\nENIs are collaborative and open access spaces that contribute to local and regional knowledge to address Mexico's priority problems by storing\, processing\, analyzing an d disseminating humanistic\, scientific and technological information. The topics addressed are: toxic agents and polluting processes\, water\, cult ure\, education\, energy and climate change\, health\, human security\, so cio-ecological systems and sustainability\, food sovereignty and housing.\ n\nGema and Sisdai are articulated with the ENIs\, as contributions to ope n science. All of them are available in public portals.\n\n\nGEMA\n\nWe wi ll begin this talk by asking: is it possible to have a country where the g overnment\, academia\, civil society\, private sector and media collaborat e to generate\, publish and consume open data? And the answer is simple: t his would be ideal\, but today it remains a utopia.\n\nGema is moving towa rds institutional interoperability\, but also exploring the incorporation of data outside the scope of government. \n\nConahcyt manages research pro jects with academia and we all know that historically scientific productio n has been shared mainly in specialized journals\, books and research arti cles that generally involve payment.\n\nAdditionally\, what happens to the data used as input in research? It usually remains within the research te ams and is not published\, hindering replicability\, interoperability and methodological contrast.\n\nThis project contributes to open science by pr omoting free access to scientific research products (data\, methodology\, code\, etc.).\n\nIn Mexico there are different national instances of data collection\, integration and visualization\, for example the National Inst itute of Statistics and Geography (INEGI)\, the Ministry of Health\, the N ational Population Council (Conapo)\, the Executive Secretariat of the Nat ional Public Security System\, among others.\n\nTo support the analysis an d visualization of data\, Gema has loaded layers of information from all o f the above-mentioned agencies\, making it possible to cross-reference off icial data with information derived from research projects. \n\nGema (in E nglish Gem) takes its name from the combination of the first letters of th e words “gestor” and “mapas” in Spanish\, thus alluding to a preci ous stone\, as well as to the gradual process it takes to become a real pr ecious jewel\, such as the constant transformation of data into informatio n and knowledge\, which results in an input of great value and importance. \n\nAs a Geospatial Knowledge Infrastructure\, created in an open scienc e environment and with accessibility criteria\, Gema integrates a free dat a model\, as well as tools so that users can explore\, compile\, visualize and share geospatial information related to humanistic\, scientific and t echnological activity. \n\n\nSISDAI\n\nBeyond being a free software projec t\, it is a design system that allows to establish rules\, patterns and pr actices to ensure the consistency of complex\, flexible and constantly evo lving digital products. \n\nSisdai is built in an interdisciplinary way\, considering criteria for accessibility\, usability\, data visualization\, good code practices and user experience. Its structure is based on the ato mic design methodology\, which proposes that from simple elements -atoms- complex components and functions -organisms- are formed and\, in turn\, th ese form functional and robust templates and user interfaces under the sam e logic to be able to decompose them if necessary.\n\nBy using Sisdai you will be able to explore buttons\, menus\, graphs\, maps\, components\, and others that will allow you to develop accessible interfaces. Also\, if yo ur native language is not English\, you will have the opportunity to acces s documented code in Spanish! Sisdai libraries are developed using open so urce technologies\, such as the Vue.js Javascript framework\, OpenLayers\, D3.js and Git.\n\nSisdai enhances the social impact of research projects by promoting technological autonomy and independence with the use of free software components. The Sisdai portal aims to enable as many people as po ssible to perceive\, understand\, navigate and interact correctly. This in cludes those with different disabilities: visual\, hearing\, motor\, cogni tive or neurological\, as well as older adults and those unfamiliar with t he Internet. The code repositories\, libraries and documentation that comp rise it are developed by Mexican work teams where the Spanish language is privileged. \n\nThere are currently 5 public code libraries in institution al repositories available for research teams.\n\n\nCONCLUSION\n\nENI-Gema- Sisdai are open projects in favor of the nation\, in which collaborations were carried out with more than a dozen research teams\, institutions and public centers. There are more than twenty public portals of the ENI proje ct\, about 400 geographic layers with free format downloads in Gema and 5 open source libraries in Sisdai. All this is available in public sites.
