“…In the inverse, if users have feedback, but no channel, the process will be hard to improve (and we lose impact insight too). Users that are not aware of OGD and its possibilities will not show Interest and Need [1,22,26,27]. Even if they have awareness and channels, they can express interest, to express need they require access to the organisation's metadata inventory.…”

When focusing on open government data (OGD) publishing and related barriers, there are several complexities present. Largely, current research is focused on publishing and usage of OGD; and we argue that there are a need to investigate and to systematise OGD barrier research in order to understand and outline an expanded scope of the phenomenon. We expand by clarifying barriers linked to the release decision and the data's organisational context. To investigate the OGD barriers, we conduct a systematic literature review, identifying 34 articles as a point of departure for our analysis. From these articles we create, present and discuss illustrations on historical development, barrier types, and different research focuses on OGD. When analysing the articles, we identify a focus on technical, organisational, and legal barrier types, while studies on open data usage and systems are less frequent. Our analysis also identifies some possible open data research barriers. In the article we also relate barriers to an expanded OGD process (Suitability, Release, Publish, Use, and Evaluation), identifying 46 barriers with possible linkages. The results is an expanded scope and a conceptual illustration of OGD barriers.

“…Besides governmental oversight and monitoring of data quality standards, other additional benefits of OGD are the increased public value obtained through citizen participation and empowerment, and improved public relations and citizen attitude towards government [9,27]. A few challenges or barriers related to the use of OGD are difficulty for users in processing the information and the usability of the content available, since the information has typically been prepared by governments with a specific goal in mind [28]. Additionally, in order to adopt usage of OGD at the firm level, organizations need to have the support of top management [14,29].…”

“…Despite these challenges, OGD offers organizations the potential to unlock new innovative solutions that can incentivize entrepreneurship and generate economic value [8,9]. A review of the OGD literature suggests that the use of OGD can generate economic value and drive innovation within societies [28,30,31]. A survey of government employees and business professionals' use of OGD in Brazil revealed that this type of data promoted greater citizenship involvement [28].…”

The business intelligence (BI) market has grown at a tremendous rate in the past decade due to technological advancements, big data and the availability of open source content. Despite this growth, the use of open government data (OGD) as a source of information is very limited among the private sector due to a lack of knowledge as to its benefits. Scant evidence on the use of OGD by private organizations suggests that it can lead to the creation of innovative ideas as well as assist in making better informed decisions. Given the benefits but lack of use of OGD to generate business intelligence, we extend research in this area by exploring how OGD can be used to generate business intelligence for the identification of market opportunities and strategy formulation; an area of research that is still in its infancy. Using a two-industry case study approach (footwear and lumber), we use latent Dirichlet allocation (LDA) topic modeling to extract emerging topics in these two industries from OGD, and a data visualization tool (pyLDAVis) to visualize the topics in order to interpret and transform the data into business intelligence. Additionally, we perform an environmental scanning of the environment for the two industries to validate the usability of the information obtained. The results provide evidence that OGD can be a valuable source of information for generating business intelligence and demonstrate how topic modeling and visualization tools can assist organizations in extracting and analyzing information for the identification of market opportunities.

“…For Janssen, Charalabidis and Zuiderwijk (2012) this motivation favors democratic accountability and citizenship. However, due to the cultural barrier of top management towards the availability of some OGD, it becomes difficult to promote this social participation (Albano & Reinhard, 2014). Thus, the actors reported having a concern about the accessibility of these data, seeking improvements in public policies in this process.…”

“…For Albano and Reinhard (2014), as seen by these data suppliers too, there is a low interest of government officials in collaborating with open data initiatives. These problems, together with the impasse in obtaining a uniform OGD policy (Martin et al, 2013), have a direct influence on the challenge of providing adequate support for both developers (with problems of collaboration and understanding of OGD), and for data suppliers (with little interaction between government levels and openness resistance from high government management).…”

Open Government Data (OGD) is seen as a way to promote transparency, as well as to provide information to the population by opening data related to various government sectors and processes. By using applications developed with this type of data, citizens gain knowledge about a certain public sphere; governments, in turn, are able to promote transparency and improvements through the interaction with citizens who use such applications. To create these applications, developers need to extract, process and analyze OGD available by data suppliers. This research was conducted in two phases: the first sought to investigate the perspective of developers who use Brazilian OGD; in the second phase, we investigated the perspectives of data suppliers. Through semi-structured interviews with twenty-four developers and data suppliers, this work reports what motivates them to work with OGD, as well as the barriers they face in this process. Our findings indicate that both participants seek to promote transparency for the population, but they run up against poor data quality, cultural barriers, among other issues. We present and qualitatively characterize these issues, providing recommendations for the improvement of the Brazilian OGD ecosystem.
