Increasingly technical advancements have created new hurdles for industrial software development, this article proposes the validation of an architecture for the visualization of information through complex networks, accomplished by the alignment of the practices of the Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI) with the OpenUp disciplines. Relying on ontology methods, CMMI and OpenUP data were crossed on Neo4j graph database management system, following the proposed architecture. This demonstration case started with tabled datasets that have low complexity at the data level, therefore, as defined, we followed for the graph database (Neo4j), then to the user interface finalizing at information visualization. The main contribution of this study is certainly the validation of the technological architecture, through the cross mapping of CMMI and OpenUP in graph database, allowing future contributions to the matter. For future work, we propose the alignment of the model in a study case applied in the real environment, through the development of an adequate replicable framework.
