English abstract

The discussion about open government data is a worldwide trend. Some initiatives intend to expand these discussions, such as the Open Government Partnership and the Global Open Data Index. This research combined the use of tools offered by those two mentioned initiatives to understand the current panorama of the government data opening and visualization on a worldwide level. In this way, it is intended to contribute to mapping the advances obtained and to understand which paths still have to be followed in the search for openness and transparency of government data. Also, the study intends to help in understanding the real impact of the open data on corruption decrease. As a research method, data from the databases provided by OGP and GODI were collected, and the research universe consisted of countries that were indexed by the two initiatives simultaneously and also had official data portals available online. The commitments assumed by the countries in the OGP and the level of data openness identified by GODI were analyzed. After this process, the relationship between the GODI index and the Transparency International index were analyzed. The main results of the research are that the global picture of government data opening identifies good examples to be considered in the field of government data opening, as well as controversial perspectives that support other prospective indicators of the phenomenon. The frame is limited to the commitments made within the scope of the OGP, that does not deal with all discussions and actions in the context of government data but is an important international organization that has considered the opening of government data as a necessary element for transparency and enlargement of democracy in government management. The study points out that the commitments already established must comply with the criteria of evaluative indices, such as the one proposed by GODI. These criteria generate indicators capable of diagnosing the development of the initiatives, while presenting themselves as an instrument of global interlocution of diverse experiences, in spite of their singularities. In the analyzed cases, the index points out the importance of establishing open licenses as a way to operationalize and guarantee freedom in the use of data. It also considers elements of how government transparency practices are related to anti-corruption mechanisms. However, it is not possible to identify a direct relationship between government data openness indexes and corruption rates. The controversial elements highlighted in the research indicate the complexity and urgency of expanding this debate in academia and public management.
