“…In this sense, the public authorities must convey social messages via different channels to encourage the usage of open datasets and impress upon them the need to create social and economic value of them. Second, OGD initiatives propel innovation and economic growth (Shepherd, 2015;Zuiderwijk, Jeffery and Janssen, 2012;Yang and Wu, 2016). Therefore, on the one hand, businesses and small-and-medium enterprises may tap these datasets for identifying and producing new products and services, others may use OGD for furthering their research or academic activities.…”

Purpose This paper aims to examine the use and acceptance of open government data (OGD) of different stakeholder groups in India. Design/methodology/approach Following an empirical investigation among 244 respondents in India, the paper deploys path analysis via LISREL. The conceptual construction of the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) framework is used to assess the behavioral intention to use and accept OGD. Multiple regression analysis informs the relationship of demographic variables with the behavioral intention to use and accept OGD. Findings Path analysis showed that there is an increased use and acceptance of OGD among the respondents. Multiple regression analysis shows that men are more likely to use open data sets than women. Individual differences are found among the respondents with regard to OGD usage. Thus, while men may tap open data sets in line with their purposes and professional backgrounds, women are likely to tap the data sets even for non-professional purposes. Furthermore, the respondents who are younger in age are more behaviorally inclined to accepting and using OGD than their older counterparts. Practical implications The Indian government needs to popularize and familiarize OGD initiatives among the people to a greater extent. The utilitarian value of OGD may be provided when data sets are more user-friendly, frequently updated and accurate. This would facilitate in better provision of public services besides appreciating the public sentiment. Further, with increased interaction between citizens and the government, public accountability and transparency may be better realized. Social implications The study shows that different groups of people are engaging in tapping information through government websites and related portals. Societal influence was found to be an important factor which predicts the acceptance and usage of OGD. An infrastructure can help to enable the use of OGD. Originality/value Hitherto, studies have focused on OGD initiatives in the developed countries, but extant literature is scarce on developing countries. Therefore, this study seeks to fill the literature gap by probing OGD use and acceptance among different stakeholder groups in India.

“…According to Yang and Wu (2016), OGD can be considered as an innovation to help government agencies achieve the principles of open government, including transparency, participation and collaboration. According to Lakomaa and Kallberg (2013), OGD is essential in applications and information services innovations, influencing the innovative process in many ways.…”

“…The articles approaching risk addressed issues such as information security risk, adulteration of published data and citizens' loss of privacy risk by inadvertently publishing confidential data (LEE and KWAK, 2012;YANG and WU, 2016). These risks may be considered barriers because, according to Wirtz et al (2016), the high-risk aversion of public organizations employees is the main source of resistance to the publication of public data.…”

Government Open Data (DAG) is free, open and available data by public organizations and can be used in projects or integrated with new products, applications or services. Research in the OGD area has grown substantially in recent years, addressing several different conceptual approaches and dimensions. It is important to understand the concept over time as a way to better conceive researches based on contemporary approaches. Therefore, the present study aims to review and categorize existing researches about OGD, identifying which approaches are being adopted, which are the research strategies used, how the concept evolves and which are the most referenced articles. This study analyzed and categorized researches about OGD through a systematic literature review covering 193 publications presented in the main databases. Papers were analyzed through content analysis, through the steps of reduction, display, conclusion and double blind verification. The researches were classified into seven dimensions and under ten different approaches. Concurrently with the development of OGD global initiatives, new scientific papers tend to direct their focus to issues such as data quality and accountability. Through the results of this research it is possible to identify widely discussed approaches and those that can be further explored, as well as the development of the OGD concept over time and its dimensions.Keywords: Open Data; Open Government Data; Open Data approaches; Open Data dimensions.E&G Economia e Gestão, Belo Horizonte, v. 18, n. 49, Jan./Abr. 2018 5 RESUMOOs Dados Abertos Governamentais (DAG) são dados livres, abertos e disponíveis por organizações públicas e podem ser usados em projetos ou integrados a novos produtos, aplicativos ou serviços. A pesquisa na área de DAG cresceu substancialmente nos últimos anos com diferentes abordagens e dimensões conceituais, tornando importante compreender o conceito ao longo do tempo. Portanto, o presente estudo tem como objetivo analisar e categorizar as pesquisas existentes sobre DAG, identificando quais abordagens estão sendo adotadas, quais são as estratégias de pesquisa utilizadas, como o conceito evolui e quais são os artigos mais referenciados. Este estudo analisou e categorizou pesquisas sobre DAG através de uma revisão sistemática da literatura que abrange 193 publicações apresentadas nas principais bases de dados. Os documentos foram analisados através da análise de conteúdo, com etapas de redução, exibição, conclusão e verificação duplo-cego. As pesquisas foram classificadas em sete dimensões e em dez abordagens diferentes. Paralelamente ao desenvolvimento das iniciativas globais da DAG, novos trabalhos científicos tendem a direcionar seu foco para questões como a qualidade dos dados e a responsabilização. Através dos resultados desta pesquisa, é possível identificar abordagens amplamente discutidas e as que podem ser exploradas, bem como o desenvolvimento do conceito DAG ao longo do tempo e suas dimensões.

Abstract. Government affairs openness is of great significance for the government to setup a reasonable and efficient government service. Leaders at all levels attach great importance to it, and relevant policies have also been introduced. In response to the national call, to further promote open government, improve government transparency, this paper uses the investigation method, taking Shandong Province as an example, with the help of computing center of Shandong province (the National Supercomputing Center in Jinan), we organized open assessment working group to assess the Shandong provincial government departments and the municipal government in 2016 and analyzed the result. Then, we find the problems existing in the present stage, and put forward some suggestions for improvement.
