Abstract

The Law on Access to Information established, in Brazil, the need to open government data, in order to access public information, such data should be made available for discovery, understanding and reuse. Thus, the present study study aimed to discuss the attendance of government open datasets to the challenges for data publishing on the web, presented by the World Wide Web Consortium. An analysis has demonstrated the suitability of 29 datasets about the Stricto Sensu Graduate Evaluation available in the portal Dados Abertos CAPES to 13 challenges for data web availability, as well as the benefits achieved by the attendance, to assist producers in improving the data. From the analysis, it was possible to check that of the 13 challenges, only 1 was considered met, 6 partially met, 4 did not meet the parameters and 2 not applicable. The data available on the site Dados Abertos CAPES don’t meet the requirements of the first open data star, however, they are able to meet the third star. They use records of the version of Creative Commons adopted, visualized that offers the data in the CSV format, in addition, there is a need to restructure metadata to facilitate understanding and processability of data.
