Parlametrics
The Parlametria web portal (lit. Parlametrics) presents two projects carried out jointly by Open Knowledge Brasil, Dado Capital and UFMG lab analytics. It has the technical support of the Betty and Jacob Lafer Institute, the Avina Foundation, the C&A Institute and brasil.io. This platform aims to strengthen the transparency of parliamentary work at the national level. To do so, it has developed two digital observatories: one dedicated to monitoring the performance of individual representatives in the Senate and the Chamber of Deputies, and the other one aimed at monitoring bills and proposals presented at both chambers. Parlametrics thus seeks to facilitate accountability by making the data made available by Parliament understandable through visualizations, filters and summaries. They also publish reports with the aim of denouncing barriers in access to public information and breaches in institutional operation.
Institutional design
Formalization: is the innovation embedded in the constitution or legislation, in an administrative act, or not formalized at all?
Frequency: how often does the innovation take place: only once, sporadically, or is it permanent or regular?
Mode of Selection of Participants: is the innovation open to all participants, access is restricted to some kind of condition, or both methods apply?
Type of participants: those who participate are individual citizens, civil society organizations, private stakeholders or a combination of those?
Decisiveness: does the innovation takes binding, non-binding or no decision at all?
Co-governance: is there involvement of the government in the process or not?
