How Society 5.0 and Industry 4.0 Ideas Shape the Open Data Performance Expectancy

Abstract

The open data (OD) performance expectancy is a critical factor for the user technology acceptance models for future implementation OD in Industry 4.0, and to have an impact in area of Society 5.0. The purpose of this article is identifying trends and key words (leading terms) in promoting ODs for their use in Industry 4.0 and Society 5.0. We are also looking for leaders in Europe in promoting the use of OD in the context of Industry 4.0 and Society 5.0. The research methodology includes methods such as: analyses based on text mining, visualization techniques, and multidimensional cluster analyses with correlation analyses. The dataset covered 288 digital products and services based on OD. The timeframe covers the period January 2018–January 2020, and the research focuses on European issues. The research is focused on texts promoting the digital OD products and services, with the most popular being applications, websites and platforms. The main direction in presenting the benefits of their use is related to promoting them as tools to provide real time information on public issues, primarily in areas such as transport, education, culture and sport, economics and finance and health. The main types of OD are geodata and those specified as national and local. Additionally, the geographical area in Europe-dominating countries, and the key terms promoting product and services in context of OD performance expectancy in Western Europe, Northern Europe, Southern Europe and Eastern Europe, were found.

Smarter Open Government Data for Society 5.0: Are Your Open Data Smart Enough?

“…Society 5.0, also known as a super smart society, human-centered society and even a society of the imagination, refers to a society in which the imagination and creativity of different people lead to the solving of problems through new solutions and the creation of value, usually thanks to technological transformation stemming from Industry 4.0 [ 2 , 11 ].…”

“…According to [ 2 ], the openness of data, both public and private, is not only one of the most crucial drivers for a sustainable economy, it can also impact on ICT [ 7 , 8 ] innovation and is seen as the creativity bridge in developing a new ecosystem in Industry 4.0 and Society 5.0. Open (government) data provide access to create added value in Industry 4.0 and Society 5.0, also known as the super-smart society, and support the idea of greater openness and accountability in business and administration governance [ 2 , 9 , 10 ].…”

Together, these concepts are seen as a driving force for new businesses and services that ensure the sustainable development of a human-centered society with open innovation [ 2 , 11 ] that resolves various social and economic challenges, incorporating innovations such as robots, big data and artificial intelligence (AI) [ 11 ], and is sometimes called the “society of imagination” [ 2 , 12 ].…”

“…The study covers data, impact, use and platform, where the last three aspects are considered as relatively rare, due to the complexity of evaluation, being also very time-consuming, and due to the immaturity of open (government) data practices [ 22 ]. However, these aspects affect open data usability and their value and allow the determination of factors that foster or hinder the increasing use of open data by society [ 2 ]. Both trends lead to the subject of the acceptance of new technology.…”
