“…According to [20] some countries have progressed beyond the mere access to data, where the Open Datahas shown that it not only produces significant changes in the public sector, but it generates synergies in innovation and entrepreneurship. In the Brazilian context, authors [4], argue as key benefits that can be achieved through OGD projects: greater promotion of citizenship, ability to develop new products and services from governments to society, greater efficiency for governments, among others.…”

Part 3: Policy and StakeholdersInternational audienceThe use of Open Government Data (OGD) involves multiple activities developed by networks of users with different capacities and goals, along a value chain. These users, and also government agents supplying OGD recognize benefits, motivations, barriers, facilitating and inhibiting factors in the process. This paper surveyed the perceptions of Brazilian OGD users and government agents, in order to provide information for the improvement of OGD supply and use

“…They identified the following to be coordination challenges: inappropriate regulatory environment, fragmentation of open (big) data, unclear boundaries of responsibilities, lack of feedback on and discussion of data use, lack of interconnected processes and lack of standardized and planned processes. Therefore, Solar, Concha and Meijueiro (2012) proposed an open data maturity model to assess the commitment and capabilities of public institutions in pursuing the principles and practices of open data, which has a hierarchical structure consists of domains, subdomains and critical variables. Hyland and Wood (2011) provide a six-step guidance model that contains the steps to identify, model, name, describe, convert, publish data, and the reverse activity to maintain them.…”

E-government readiness is an important indicator of the quality of a country’s technological and telecommunication infrastructure and the ability of its citizens, businesses and governments to adopt, use and benefit from modern technologies. To measure and compare selected countries, a lot of benchmarking and ranking indices have been introduced since the beginning of the century. With the increasing importance of trends such as cloud computing, open (big) data, participation tools or social media, new indicators and approaches need to be introduced in the measuring of the e-government development, and the existing indices should to be updated, redefined and restructured. Therefore, this article explores the structure of the existing e-government development indices to show the main indicators and trends. Then, it proposes and implements a new framework to evaluate e-government development using these new trends in ICT. It also examines and compares a basic background on the e-government development, benefits and risks of cloud computing, open (big) data and participation tools in the public sector. Based on the newly proposed framework, the e-government development index is calculated for each EU Member State to clearly identify the indicators to have an influence on the e-government development. In the last part, these results are compared to the already existing indices to validate the conformity of the rank methods using Kendall rank correlation coefficient.

“…En este sentido, Lee y Kwak (2011) han propuesto un modelo evolutivo que a través de distintas etapas intenta explicar la implementación del gobierno transparente. Un modelo similar pero basado en los datos abiertos -que se verán en el siguiente apartado-es el propuesto por Solar et al (2012), donde presentan 33 variables críticas para analizar debilidades y fortalezas de la apertura de datos gubernamentales.…”

Abstract:The idea of open government has spread across Latin American countries causing confusion and ambiguous interpretations. The concepts of "open government" and "transparency" have been used as synonyms and have created false expectations, but mostly they have been used to implement public policies and government strategies to accomplish the goal of creating a more open government. The purpose of this research is to provide some theoretical elements to clear this confusion. In order to achieve such goal, related papers of academic journals over the past six years have been reviewed and classified on three main paths of knowledge. From this point a concept of open government is proposed and discussed. The aim of this paper is to contribute with a theoretical framework that supports research on open government, transparency and accountability.Key words: open government, transparency, theory, concepts, e-government. Resumen: La confusión del término anglosajón open government así como del término transparency han traído consigo ambigüedades y creado falsas expectativas. Además de utilizar ambos conceptos como sinónimos, se han implementado políticas públicas para hacerlos realidad en distintos países latinoamericanos sin tener una dirección precisa o un objetivo claro. Esta investigación busca aportar elementos teóricos que ayuden a delimitar los principales caminos teóricos que se han seguido y proponer un concepto que distinga tanto la transparencia como el gobierno abierto. Para lograrlo se han revisado las principales revistas académicas y artículos de los últimos seis años y se han agrupado en tres corrientes de pensamiento para proponer un concepto sobre gobierno abierto. El objetivo es contribuir a la construcción de una teoría general más sólida, que ayude a entender mejor el gobierno abierto, la transparencia y la rendición de cuentas.
