RESUMO:

Since at least a decade ago, following a worldwide trend, the Federal government of Brazil endeavors a set of practices to open up the State. Between the main actions in this sense, there is the publishing of a big volume of government data in open formats, also known as open government data. The release of these data is sustained by the normative principles of open government. In this scenario, this dissertation has as the general objective to analyze the Brazilian open government policy and the open government data initiative. In order to do so, this work adopts two different research approaches, an institutional and a social one. Firstly, we analyzed what kind of projects, goals and principles are undertook by the analysis of governmental documents. The sample used in this research approach is composed by four national Action Plans elaborated with the Open Government Partnership and 25 Open Data Plans from the direct Public Administration. To the second approach of this dissertation, we considered the uses and social appropriations of open government data throughout the country. To fulfill this goal, we applied a survey to open government data users (N=81) and semi-structured interviews to five key-users. Results show that the Federal government open government and open government data policies pay attention to, mainly, projects related to transparency, participation and digital government. Regarding the type of these projects, firstly, early initiatives focused on training and education to public administrators, while more recently, there is a trend towards publishing data initiatives. Regarding open data uses and users, we identified uses to produce research and articles, to create APIs, websites and apps, to data visualizations, to audit the bills and governmental performance, to monitor public policies, to create services and to stimulate competition and economic growth. The research participants also indicated barriers and difficulties such as the low quality of released data, the lack of human and technical skills, the lack of organizations’ support and the fulfillment of the legislation.
