Resumo:
The advancement of information and communication technologies (ICTs) together with the
popularization of the Internet, provides changes in the transparency processes in the public management machine, driving changes in legislation that transforms a method of registering, organizing and disseminating information to the population, through the propagation of the transparency portal, Internet sites that share information on public administration budget executions. By law, transparency sites promote social control, enabling the population or monitoring public tasks. However, in the literature, studies are found that point out the inefficiencies about the level of accessibility of the website and the quality of the information disclosed. Native to maintain or access updated and consistent tax information, bodies such as the Court of Auditors of the State of Paraíba (TCE-PB), periodically inspect municipalities. However, due to a large number of opening portals between Brazilian states and municipalities, inspecting or complying with the legislation requires a human and financial right, showing in some scenarios this unfeasible activity. This study experimented with the use of a Web crawler focused on different search algorithms in the assessment of tax items required by law in Paraíba’s municipal transparency portals. The results indicate satisfactory levels of efficiency and efficiency compared to the Tourmaline tool, with itshape E-greedy +BFS or the best-evaluated search algorithm. However, it was possible to identify some cases with more development practices present in the portal directly affected by the performance of the crawler. Based on these results, it is expected or improved the inspection mechanisms, transparency portals and incentives for citizens to participate in public administration.
