[email protected] Abstract. In recent years, many data visualization tools have appeared on the market that can potentially guarantee citizens and users of the Public Administration (PA) the ability to create dashboards and data stories with just a few clicks, using open and unopened data from the PA. The Data Analytics Framework (DAF), a project of the Italian government launched at the end of 2017 and currently being tested, integrates data based on the semantic web, data analysis tools and open source business intelli- gence products that promise to solve the problems that prevented the PA to exploit its enormous data potential. The DAF favors the spread of linked open data (LOD) thanks to the integration of OntoPiA, a network of controlled ontologies and vocabularies that allows us to describe the concepts we find in datasets, such as "sex", "organization", "people", "addresses", "points of inter- est", "events" etc. This paper contributes to the enhancement of the project by introducing the process of creating a dashboard in the DAF in 5 steps, starting from the dataset search on the data portal, to the creation phase of the real dashboard through Superset and the related data story.
