The Brazilian Graduate Evaluation Ecosystem aims to enhance data availability for processes such as the evaluation of stricto sensu programs, institutional monitoring, and transparency. However, the heterogeneity of existing information systems requires standardization to ensure interoperability, directly affecting data integration and strategic decision-making. This study maps the data structures underlying Brazilian stricto sensu graduate evaluation within the CAPES context, providing a foundation for the development of a Data Architecture under the Collaborative Governance Program for Graduate Information (GoPG). This empirical research, based on documentary sources, addresses a phenomenon that remains underexplored in both national and international literature. The methodology consists of an exploratory analysis grounded in Information Science, Information Systems, and Computer Science. The results include a comprehensive mapping of data structures and the development of a visualization dashboard that clarifies the existing data infrastructure. These findings provide the basis for the ongoing development of a specialized Data Architecture for the Brazilian graduate evaluation system.
