Mapeamento de dados como arcabouço para a Arquitetura de Dados da Avaliação da Pós-Graduação Brasileira no contexto da CAPES

Abstract

The Brazilian Graduate Evaluation Ecosystem aims to improve data availability for processes such as the evaluation of stricto sensu Graduate Programs, institutional monitoring, and transparency for society. However, the structural diversity of the information systems used makes it difficult for data standardization and interoperability, impacting their integration and decision-making processes. This study's objective is to present the mapping of evaluation data of Brazilian stricto sensu graduate programs in the context of CAPES, providing support for the development of a Data Architecture to serve as the foundation for data integration. It is an empirical research using documentary sources that investigates a phenomenon with limited available literature both nationally and internationally, highlighting its relevance. The study is based on an exploratory analysis of the data structure, grounded in theoretical and practical frameworks from the fields of Information Science, Information Systems, and Computer Science. The adopted methodology consisted of a detailed analysis of the data structure used in graduate evaluation, with an emphasis on data integration and interoperability. As a result, the study achieved the mapping of the data structure for the evaluation of Brazilian stricto sensu graduate programs in the CAPES context, which will serve as the basis for the development of a Data Architecture for this process.
