Transparency; Access to information; Open data; Institutions; Society
The right of access to information has been debated in different environments in recent years due to the social contexts that arise: whether due to calamity situations in public health, in which society demanded public information from governments, or due to threats to this right by governments with authoritarian profiles. In this scenario, as a way of effecting transparency and access to information, there are open government data. This research, therefore, aims to verify to what extent the federal policy of open government data enables transparency and access to information, in a perspective turned to Public Administration (institutional) and another turned to society; and what are the consequences for democracy. Therefore, it seeks to relate the concepts of open government, open data, open format and interoperability, in a context of democracy and transparency. In addition, methodologically, it seeks to bring the impressions of civil servants on the elaboration of open data, as well as the impression of civil society organizations on the subject, through questionnaires, interviews, and document analysis.
