Portal da Transparência do Governo Federal, Brazil, Data Visualization, Information Architecture, Usability, AccessibilityAbstract
Objective: To investigate the Transparency Portal of the Federal Government aiming to analyze the availability of public information to citizens considering parameters of information architecture, usability and data visualization offered by the platform.
Method: Theoretical and practical exploratory study of literature on Information Architecture, Usability and Data Visualization to design a systematization with questions that allow the evaluation of the level of adherence of the Portal to standards established by each of these disciplines.
Result: Identification of strengths and weaknesses of the Transparency Portal in providing information of governmental nature for access and interpretation by Brazilian citizens.
Conclusions: It concludes that the Transparency Portal presents insights for non-specialized citizens in the search for information, although it still lacks further development of graphical representations available to users and usability focused on navigation on the platform.
