Abstract


The main goal of certain government sites is to present data, processes, and rules, considering the need for compliance with the Law of Access to Information. Nevertheless, not all of them fulfill basic requirements for transparency, often exposing the required elements without due structures of access, use, quality, understanding, and audibility. This paper proposes a questionnaire that allows evaluating if a site meets the characteristics of transparency through the operations defined in the Catalog of Software Transparency.
