Scientific and technological information organization in open systems: Lattes database analysis

Abstract

Discussion, assessment and presentation of parameters for organization of Brazilian Scientific and Technological Information, focusing on the problems of access to information in open systems, specifically the Lattes Data Base of the Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico (CNPq). An explanatory study is presented, developed from CVs taken from the Lattes Data Base in order to identify if the open nature of the system puts the consistency of data at risk when information is retrieved. We conclude that consistency is at a risk when information is retrieved in open systems. From systemization of results we present suggestions to improve on the system.
