How this atlas is made · What “last verified” means · What “source-checked” means
Goiânia runs a CKAN open-data portal at dadosabertos.goiania.go.gov.br carrying 29 datasets, every one published by the Prefeitura Municipal de Goiânia and every one under the same licence, Creative Commons Atribuição — a uniformity most municipal catalogues never manage. Most of the holdings are cadastral GIS: streets, blocks, lots, kerbs, cadastral sectors, bridges, listed heritage, sustainable-use areas and altimetry, each offered as CSV, JSON, SHP and KMZ with a PDF data dictionary. The oldest datasets were created in June 2018. Sorted by the portal's own last-modified date, the newest change to anything in the catalogue is the dengue-control file, updated on 6 April 2020; the street register was last touched in September 2018 and the economic-activity register in November 2018.
what does this mean?
The strongest source is the operator's or the city's own reporting — an official report, dataset or press release. It grades who did the looking — not how well the project went. All four grades →🎓 Lesson
A single uniform licence across an entire catalogue is rarer than it sounds, and Goiânia has one — but a licence governs reuse, not maintenance. The portal is online, correctly labelled and machine-readable while its most recent file is six years old, which is exactly the failure a licence audit cannot see. The city's separate fiscal-transparency portal is current and offers its own API, so the gap is in publishing the city's own operational and geographic data, not in transparency infrastructure as such.
