Open Government Data, FAIR Principles, Government Transparency, Capes Open DataAbstract
The article examines the Open Government Data (OGD) movement, emphasizing applying the FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) principles to government data, using Brazil's Capes open data portal as a case study. The study underscores the significance of Open Government Data (OGD) in promoting transparency and democratizing access to information within the public sector. It addresses issues such as typographical errors, the absence of standardization, duplicated data, and emphasizes the necessity for a process model that integrates quality control mechanisms The paper also explores the economic and political potential of OGD, analyzing the challenge of managing open government data with high quality and interoperability. The study's results on the Capes portal show mixed compliance with the FAIR principles, with recommendations for future improvements.
