IRM End of Term Status Summary

Commitment 2.7. Development of a Database of Administrative Documents produced by Brazil’s Navy

Commitment Text: To develop a database containing the description of all administrative documents produced by the Military Organizations of Brazil’s Navy, as well as the documents transferred to the Navy’s Archive, as to 2014 onwards. Online consultations shall be franchised to citizens.

Responsible institution: Ministry of Defense

Supporting institution: None

Start date: Not specified End date: 14 June 2014

Commitment aim

The commitment set out to improve the quality of one of the main data portals of the Ministry of Education (MEC). This was to comply with open data principles and the National Open Data Infrastructure (INDA) standards in order to enhance citizens’ access to information.

Status

Midterm: Not started

The commitment did not begin, as the government postponed the dates for the commitment’s deliverables. The principal source of data for the MEC, the MEC Panel, was not in open data format at the midterm review. Furthermore, government representatives challenged some of the basic principles of open data in interviews with the IRM researcher.

End of term: Not started

There is no evidence of further progress. The website http://painel.mec.gov.br/ still does not comply with open data standards. It should be noted that the Ministry of Education published its Open Data Plan in June 2016, although the specifics of the commitment are not mentioned in the plan.^{[Note 49: Ministry of Education, Institutional Plan of Open Data, https://goo.gl/SUUs8Y. ]}

Did it open government?

Access to information: Did not change

The commitment was not started and, as such, has not contributed to open government.

Carried forward?

This commitment was not carried forward to the next action plan, but was highly supported by CSOs during consultations. An important next step would be for the MEC to familiarise itself with the basic principles of open data and INDA’s procedures.
