Description

The use of data provided by Open Government Data platforms has great potential enabling new services, improving citizens' life and making government and society work better. Furthermore, the platforms can be viewed as a way to support and improve interaction between government and citizens when it becomes more transparent, participative, and collaborative, i.e., more democratic (HARRISSON et al., 2012). This paper aims to classify the level of transparency of an Open Government Data Portal in Brazil. To achieve this goal, we adopted the maturity framework of Open Government Data developed by Veljković, Bogdanović-Dinić e Stoimenov (2014). Our findings are relevant to practitioners and public researchers interested in evaluate the quality of Open Government Data Portals and develop strategies to promote open government.
