Previous issue date: 2014-01-14 === This work seeks to explore the phenomenon of public data applications in Brazil. Mobile or not, they are digital programs created from public databases of the government. These programs reformat the information so as to make them more comprehensive and publicized to the general public. These applications are created by programmers and people interested in computer science, which are dedicated to explore government data and create visualizations and digital resources with them. The object of study thus lies at the intersection between the idea of government transparency and online participation, especially the work of hackers. We use the reconstructions of Coleman (2012), Levy (2010) and Castells (2003) to explore the work and practices of hackers. This is complemented with reflections from Jenkins (2009) and Shirky (2011) with regard to online participation, and the contributions of Rodriguez (2001), Schaffer (2007), Bowman and Willis (2003) and Bruns (2009) about citizen media. We apply, in addition, the thoughts of Williams (2005) and Castells (2001) on the assimilation of technologies and the relationship between technology and society, as well as the reconstruction of Briggs and Burke (2006) of the historical process of openness and circulation of information. This study, then, embeds a two-dimensional analysis. We analyze 17 applications from open data competitions in Brazil with the aim of contrasting the phenomenon of these programs with the concept of citizen media. We intended to understand how the two areas are related and what can be inferred from this manifestation in relation to other cases of online participation from the audience. This study also seeks to understand the motivations that lead these individuals to become involved in this area, exploring the underlying logic in their participations, and also the comprehension of their contributions. This was accomplished through semi-structured interviews with seven application developers. Moreover, we also created a typology of public data applications, with the goal of mapping this phenomenon. We seek to understand this recent concept, which is important from a social and communicational point of view. === Este trabalho se dedica a explorar o fen?meno dos aplicativos de dados p?blicos no Brasil. S?o programas digitais, m?veis ou n?o, criados a partir de bancos de dados governamentais e p?blicos, que reformatam estas informa??es de modo a torn?-las mais compreensivas e publicizadas para o p?blico em geral. Eles s?o criados por programadores e interessados em inform?tica, que se dedicam a explorar os dados governamentais e criar visualiza??es e recursos atrav?s deles. O objeto de estudo, assim, se encontra na intersec??o entre a ideia de transpar?ncia governamental, a participa??o online e a atua??o dos hackers. Utilizam-se as reconstru??es de Coleman (2012), Levy (2010) e Castells (2003) para se apreender a atua??o dos hackers. Isto ? complementado com as reflex?es de Jenkins (2009) e Shirky (2011) no que diz respeito ? participa??o online, e com as contribui??es de Rodriguez (2001), Schaffer (2007), Bowman e Willis (2003) e Bruns (2009) sobre a m?dia cidad?. Se disp?e, al?m disso, dos pensamentos de Williams (2005) e Castells (2001) sobre a assimila??o de tecnologias em meios sociais e a rela??o entre tecnologia e sociedade, e a reconstru??o de Briggs e Burke (2006) sobre o processo hist?rico de abertura e circula??o de informa??es. O presente estudo, ent?o, parte de uma an?lise em duas dimens?es. Se faz uma aprecia??o de 17 aplicativos de competi??es brasileiras de dados abertos, visando analisar o fen?meno destes programas ? luz do conceito de m?dia cidad?, para compreender como os dois ?mbitos se relacionam e o que se pode depreender da manifesta??o com rela??o a outros casos de participa??o online da audi?ncia. Busca-se tamb?m entender as motiva??es que levam estes indiv?duos a se envolver com esta ?rea, explorando as l?gicas subjacentes a suas participa??es, al?m do entendimento sobre suas contribui??es. Isto foi cumprido atrav?s de entrevista semi-estruturada em profundidade com sete criadores de aplicativos. De forma complementar, criou-se tamb?m uma tipologia dos aplicativos de dados p?blicos, objetivando mapear esta manifesta??o. Busca-se compreender amplamente este conceito recente, importante do ponto de vista social e comunicacional.
