Abstract:
The increasing social supervision in various sectors of society, particularly in the government administration, has demanded for information access policies in several countries. In Brazil, for instance, there is a law that regulates access to the Open Government Data (OGD) for reading, monitoring and reusing data in new projects and applications. In this scenario, several applications that extract information from open data are being developed throughout the world. This paper presents the BrasilMaps system, an open source application that integrates, through GIS technology, twelve open data government services offered to the Brazilian citizens. Data as Basic Health Units (BHU), Notary Offices, National Employment System (SINE), Service Unit of the Inland Revenue, Universities and Federal Institutes, Agencies of the Ministry of Labor and Employment and the Federal Police Offices are made available in the proposed system. The proposed system provides information that helps people in the use of public services. Through the access to this data, citizens can benefit from the nearest services offered, identify the quality of some services and filter the desired services.
