Execução da política de dados abertos no Brasil: uma avaliação dos três anos do decreto nº 8.777/2016

Abstract

After three years of Decree number 8.777 / 2016 that instituted the open data policy of the federal executive, there are still doubts about its implementation. This research presents a brief overview of the open data policy, considering the open data plans and datasets published between May 2016 and May 2019, with the objective of identifying compliance with the open data policyby Federal Government agenciesof Brazil. Therefore a qualitative and quantitative analysis was performed using information from the Open Data Monitoring Panel to identify agencies that had an open data plan along with their completeness percentage, and the DGABr alternative metric to evaluate open government data (DGA) published by the organs. Data sets were analyzed from the three agencies that had the largest number of open bases until May 2019. The results show that the available DGAs meet various requirements and obtained indicator 4 in the DGABr metric. There is still little information on products and services that use agency DGAs, but availability in the Application Programming Interface (API) indicates that agencies are aware of DGA reuse and integration. It is concluded that the open data policy was implemented and its implementation started in some agencies. Evaluations of published DGAs and monitoring of agencies are expected to contribute to the evolution of Brazil's open data policy and to alert society to the importance of its implementation
