User-centered Usability Analysis of 41 Open Government Data Portals

<p>The data were collected during the user-centered analysis of usability of 41 open government data portals including EU27, applying a common methodology to them, considering aspects such as specification of open data set, feedback and requests, further broken down into 14 sub-criteria. Each aspect was assessed using a three-level Likert scale (fulfilled - 3, partially fulfilled - 2, and unfulfilled &ndash; 1), that belongs to the acceptability tasks. This dataset summarises a total of 1640 protocols obtained during the analysis of the selected portals carried out by 40 participants, who were selected on a voluntary basis. This is complemented with 4 summaries of these protocols, which include calculated average scores by category, aspect and country. These data allow comparative analysis of the national open data portals, help to find the key challenges that can negatively impact users&rsquo; experience, and identifies portals that can be considered as an example for the less successful open data portals.</p>

Open Government Data Corpus for Table Search

<p>Increasing amounts of structured data can provide value for research and business if the relevant data can be located. &nbsp;Often the data is in a data lake without a consistent schema, making locating useful data challenging. &nbsp;Table search is a growing research area, but existing benchmarks have been limited to displayed tables. Tables sized and formatted for display in a Wikipedia page or ArXiv paper are considerably different from data tables in both scale and style. &nbsp;By using metadata associated with open data from government portals, we create the first dataset to benchmark search over data tables at scale. &nbsp;We demonstrate three styles of table-to-table related table search. &nbsp;The three notions of table relatedness are: tables produced by the same organization, tables distributed as part of the same dataset, and tables with a high degree of overlap in the annotated tags. &nbsp;The keyword tags provided with the metadata also permit the automatic creation of a keyword search over tables benchmark. &nbsp;We provide baselines on this dataset using existing methods including traditional and neural approaches.&nbsp;</p>

Factors influencing open government data post-adoption in the public sector: The perspective of data providers

Providing access to non-confidential government data to the public is one of the initiatives adopted by many governments today to embrace government transparency practices. The initiative of publishing non-confidential government data for the public to use and re-use without restrictions is known as Open Government Data (OGD). Nevertheless, after several years after its inception, the direction of OGD implementation remains uncertain. The extant literature on OGD adoption concentrates primarily on identifying factors influencing adoption decisions. Yet, studies on the underlying factors influencing OGD after the adoption phase are scarce. Based on these issues, this study investigated the post-adoption of OGD in the public sector, particularly the data provider agencies. The OGD post-adoption framework is crafted by anchoring the Technology–Organization–Environment (TOE) framework and the innovation adoption process theory. The data was collected from 266 government agencies in the Malaysian public sector. This study employed the partial least square-structural equation modeling as the statistical technique for factor analysis. The results indicate that two factors from the organizational context (top management support, organizational culture) and two from the technological context (complexity, relative advantage) have a significant contribution to the post-adoption of OGD in the public sector. The contribution of this study is threefold: theoretical, conceptual, and practical. This study contributed theoretically by introducing the post-adoption framework of OGD that comprises the acceptance, routinization, and infusion stages. As the majority of OGD adoption studies conclude their analysis at the adoption (decisions) phase, this study gives novel insight to extend the analysis into unexplored territory, specifically the post-adoption phase. Conceptually, this study presents two new factors in the environmental context to be explored in the OGD adoption study, namely, the data demand and incentives. The fact that data providers are not influenced by data requests from the agency's external environment and incentive offerings is something that needs further investigation. In practicality, the findings of this study are anticipated to assist policymakers in strategizing for long-term OGD implementation from the data provider's perspective. This effort is crucial to ensure that the OGD initiatives will be incorporated into the public sector's service thrust and become one of the digital government services provided to the citizen.

Analysing the Characteristics of Open Government Data Portals in Croatia

<p>Open government data (OGD) paradigm gained momentum in the recent years resulting in numerous OGD initiatives. These initiatives assured reliable and faster development of open data ecosystem on different administration levels. Diversity of government organizations dealing with different kinds of data, however, resulted in a variety of OGD initiatives. As a direct result, OGD portals developed through these initiatives show different functionalities, characteristics, and quality of provided data and services. This paper therefore aims to provide a better insight into the similarities and differences of data portals by analyzing their characteristics from thematical, semantical, functional, and technological perspective. The methodology used relies on the framework previously developed and implemented in Greece in 2015, consisting of multiple indicators assessing different characteristics of portals, in each of four perspectives. Results of the assessment show Croatian portals have well developed functionalities but also have limitations preventing data reuse. These limitations are mostly related to data discovery and absence of metadata and licenses by the publishing institutions.</p>

Governments have been benchmarking their OGD initiatives across standard indices like ODIN, OKFN, Open Data Barometer, etc. (Lnenicka et al., 2022; Lnenicka and Nikiforova, 2021) and ample research exists on assessing the quality of OGD portals from the demand (i.e. the governments&rsquo; efforts at maintaining the quality of datasets) and supply (i.e. the perceptions of users regarding the quality of datasets) side (Crusoe et al., 2019; de Souza et al., 2022; Islam et al., 2021; Kaasenbrood et al., 2015; Khurshid et al., 2022; Lnenicka et al., 2022; Purwanto et al., 2020; Saxena and Janssen, 2017; Shehata and Elgllab, 2021; Talukder et al., 2019; Weerakkody et al., 2017; Wirtz et al., 2016; Wirtz et al., 2018; Wirtz et al., 2019; Zuiderwijk et al., 2015). Given the magnitude of academic interest on OGD- especially in the last 10 years- it remains to be assessed as to how far has the domain progressed in the academic environs and surprisingly, no research has been conducted to elucidate the infusion of this very significant domain- that is relatable to the extent to which the governments are forwarding their claims regarding the furtherance of transparent and corruption-free administration apart from bolstering citizen participation, collaboration and trust (Gil-Garcia et al., 2020; Hellberg and Hedstrom, 2015) besides serving as a means for value creation and innovation by a range of stakeholders (Jetzek et al., 2012; Jetzek et al., 2014) - in the diverse platforms that are meant for furthering academic dialogue and discussion.</p>
