From the growing movement of open data and discussions about data publishing, it is questioned: how can information centersincite the publication of these data in an open format to facilitate the dissemination, access, use and reuse? e objective is, then,to present the proposal for the publication of open data for cultural heritage institutions, from the results of a study between theaspects of metadata related to the description of assets and open data publishing practices that are recommended by the WorldWide Web Consortium (W3C). The methods and procedures included exploratory research in the scientific and documentaryliterature, national and international, on the movement of data publishing and on the use of metadata in the representation ofcultural heritage. The results showed a confluence between the objectives of the W3C consortium, the representation processespracticed by the information science and the general scope of the digital humanities with respect to the sustainability of thepublished data and the data management in the digital environment. It proposes a procedure for publishing open data to be appliedby cultural institutions, as an incentive for the understanding and use of the tools of the movement by national cultural institutions
