Políticas de informação como fundamento para uma arquitetura de informação da câmara dos deputados: a análise do caso da política de indexação

Abstract

It describes the development of the Deputies Chamber's Indexing Policy as an example of information policy to structure the Architecture of Information. It intends to analyze the relevance of institutional information polices for the implementation of a model for Information Architecture in the Deputies Chamber. It reports that the legislative and administrative information systems of the House are separated, which slows the development of guidelines and rules about information, even with the need of sharing data; resulting in hindrance to the information policies. It exemplifies the indexing process, which is strongly influenced by the subjectivity of the indexer and how, without clarifying rules on how to proceed, it ends up by damaging the recovery of documents in an information system, as well as the documents subject; the knowledge itself. Besides considering the written knowledge of the document, the indexer may be able to consider the procedures that must be followed to ensure the indexing quality, consistency and coherence. It evaluates that, for the elaboration of an Indexing Policy, beyond technique, there is a need for: broad agreements, creation of united meanings and the creation of governance structures as well, formalized in laws with impositive and coercive strength which will be followed by the entire House.
