A ciência cidadã no contexto brasileiro dos dados governamentais abertos

Information technology brings us to the paradigmatic question of studying data in the context of e-Science and Citizen Science. The proposal seeks to make an applied reflection between e-Science in the light of Information Science and its relationship with the dissemination of open government data, proposing to verify from the availability of these data, whether the public administration is complying with principles related to advertising, transparency and access to information by the government. We sought to verify whether the municipalities that make part of the Umbuzeiro microregion in the State of Paraíba are making government data available in real time, as required by law. The methodology used corresponds to documentary and descriptive research, with data treatment performed by simple statistics through the LibreOffice Calc application. The results show that the municipalities studied are incipient in relation to the “real time” requirement, deserving more attention from public managers on this point.
