Title: DEMOS Project: a Proposal for Construction of the Deliberative Democracy from the Knowledge of Public Opinion
Abstract: This article presents the DEMOS (Democracy and Social Data) Project, which aims the development of Information and Communication Technologies for the improvement of democratic practices through the construction of public opinion by the active participation of the citizens. Based on the philosophical premises of the theory of Deliberative Democracy, the project involves creating strategies to make public opinion known from the community's mass participation in virtual debates and polls. Three fronts of the project are presented: the development of a political participation platform, called Ágora; a methodology of political action based on the Theory of Communicative Action; and, finally, a natural language processing and data mining tool for extracting public opinion.
