“…Web technology (the World Wide Web) was first described by Tim Berners Lee in 1989. The development of web technology was first driven by the need for the automation of information exchange among scientists in universities and research institutes worldwide [23]. In the last two decades, web technology has developed rapidly [24].…”

Web 2.0 is a technology that enables collaboration between citizens and the government to actualise the concept of open government. The adoption of technology in the public sector is known to have positive impacts in fostering public sector innovation, including in developing countries with various problems that require collaboration between citizens and the government. However, currently studies concerning open government technology adoption in developing countries are limited. Indonesia as an example of a developing and democratic country provides a suitable context to explore this phenomenon. Moreover, there are many local government institutions in Indonesia, especially on Java Island, that have implemented Web 2.0 to support open government initiatives. Therefore, this research aims to explore key factors influencing the adoption of the Web 2.0 platform by local government institutions in Indonesia. Multiple theories are combined to guide the exploration of the influencing factors related to technology, organisations, management, and the environment. Based on a multiple case study involving five local government institutions in Indonesia, we identified fifteen factors affecting the adoption of Web 2.0 technology. This study offers both research and practical implications that can be considered by government and other key stakeholders to optimise public participation and information access through the adoption of open government initiatives.

“…This feeling of wonder must have been even stronger in the past, when common people were much less familiar with viewing such a glorious series of different colors than we are in the today's world 1 . It is therefore not surprising that the rainbow appears in the holy scriptures of the global religions, and that it has never stopped being the object of philosophical and scientific investigations since Antiquity 2 . All those centuries the rainbow also inspired many artists, as we can see when inspecting frescos, paintings and other art objects.…”

We present the first quantitative analysis of representing rainbow colors in historical paintings from Antiquity to the twentieth century. Using high‐resolution photographs of art works we determined and analyzed percentages of areas from painted rainbows covered by different color categories. Our results are the first to quantitatively show that up to the nineteenth century, painters generally did not follow contemporary color theories when painting rainbows. The only evidence of an influence from color theory on painted rainbows is the use of a color scheme consisting of three primary and three secondary colors as described by d'Aguilon (1613) and others. For painting rainbows, this scheme was used for the first time in the early nineteenth century, rising to 6% of all paintings created during that century, and reaching 24% in the twentieth century. We conclude that in the vast majority of paintings, individual color choices by the painter were decisive. Additionally, we identified a few weak trends: (1) color combinations in painted rainbows over time gradually become slightly more similar to the color proportions in natural rainbows; (2) from the Renaissance onward, circa 35%–40% of the painted rainbows consist of orange, yellow and green, sometimes with white as well. This trend may originate from Antiquity; (3) Already from Antiquity a white band was used as an artistic but unrealistic device to create the impression of a luminous arc. This trend reached its maximum in popularity in Baroque, but it is still used in many painted rainbows up to the twentieth century.
