Abstract:
The paper describes the governmental knowledge base constructed from Brazilian laws, the events that surround them and authorities responsible for these. The knowledge base is built on RDF (Resource Description Framework) language through the Brazilian Official Gazette, which is the access for official information. This knowledge base is linked to other Brazilian Open Data and being one more effort in Open Government Partnership [10] to reflect the country’s commitment to strengthen the transparency of government action, to prevent and combat corruption. The self-management characteristic in the knowledge base was obtained through an architecture that monitors the laws status in all Brazilian Open Data Providers and highlights the inconsistencies in a period of time. This system is used by the Secretary of Federal Treasury and presents a well-founded basis for checking the accuracy and validity of the decrees in a Federal Budget domain.
