  • Conference paper
Electronic Government and the Information Systems Perspective (EGOVIS 2014)

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNISA,volume 8650))

Abstract

This paper shows the case of Platform Aquarius, a new Web-based Government Business Intelligence System (GBIS) to enable the public transparency with information on the public funding of research and development (R&D) in Brazil. This multidisciplinary project is an initiative of the Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation (MCTI) to integrate data of federal government agencies in the field of science, technology and innovation (ST&I). Platform Aquarius has the tools necessary for the publication of Open Government data and the presentation of the essential managerial and analytics information in dashboards that are useful to the access of the average citizen in the Web. Important lessons can be elicited from the project, such as the complexity of data governance model necessary to deal with data of several science and technology federal agencies.
