 ABSTRACT

Agriculture is the backbone of a country’s economic system, considering that it not

only provides food and raw materials but also employment opportunities for a large percentage of
the population. In this way, determining the degree of agricultural vulnerability represents a guide
for sustainability and adaptability focused on changing future conditions. In many cases,
vulnerability analysis data is restricted to use by authorized personnel only, leaving open data
policies aside. Furthermore, data in its native format (raw data) by nature tend to be diverse in
structure, storage formats, and access protocols. In addition, having a large amount of open data is
important (though not sufficient) to obtain accurate results in data-driven analysis. These data
require a strict preparation process and having guides that facilitate this process is becoming
increasingly necessary. In this study, we present the step by step processing of several open data
sources in order to obtain quality information for feedback on different agricultural vulnerability
analysis. The data preparation process is applied to a case study corresponding to the upper Cauca
river basin in Colombia. All data sources in this study are public, official and are available from
different web platforms where they were collected. In the same way, a ranking with the importance
of variables for each dataset was obtained through automatic methods and validated through expert
knowledge. Experimental validation showed an acceptable agreement between the ranking of
automatic methods and the ranking of raters.
