Intersecções entre a Ciência da Informação e a Ciência de Dados: contribuições para os sistemas de informação governamentais

Abstract

Studies Governmental Information Systems, considering that its growing use, in confluence with technologies, seeks to meet the current demands for transparency and efficiency of public services, and leads to discussions as to which technologies can be used for this purpose and how Library & Information Science (LIS) can contribute in this context. Thus, the research aims to explore the relationships between LIS and Data Science and their applications in Governmental Information Systems to enable the transformation of data into information, and as specific objectives: a) to understand Information Systems and Governmental Information Systems, relating to the concepts of Open Government and Open Data; b) identify the concept of Data Science and its application in Governmental Information Systems in the context of Library & Information Science; c) to indicate the relationships between Data Science and LIS applied in Governmental Information Systems processes. The research is of a bibliographic nature, of qualitative analysis, with an exploratory study, in order to analyze the multidisciplinary relations between LIS and Data Science, studying aspects of the use of these intersections in Governmental Information Systems. As a result, the research shows that Governmental Information Systems tend to incorporate the use of technologies, including those related to Data Science, in order to meet demands for transparency, accountability, access to information and better government services, with possibilities of correlations between LIS and Data Science in areas such as Open Data, interoperability, Knowledge Management, analytics and Artificial Intelligence. It is concluded that the study and application of these correlations is capable of generate benefits to the operation of Governmental Information Systems, considering the informational competences of LIS as support to the use of technologies, contributing to a greater interaction between government and society to meet the needs informational requirements, thus having the broad possibility of studies on the subject and application opportunities.
