“…However, co-creation of public service innovations -with or without digital technology -can be "more complex, more unpredictable, and more political" than what the rhetoric indicates (Worthy, 2015). Political, social, operational and technical benefits related to open data do not necessarily actualize in practice (Jamieson et al 2019). The more we rely on algorithms and artificial intelligence to make decisions and value judgements, the more critical it is to ensure the decisions and judgements are in accordance with our understanding about human agency and that they do not violate ethical principles.…”

“…The main threats relate to reduction of political support to open data, and consequently to lowered level of funding and other resourcing. It can be hypothesized that the less there is empirical evidence of the benefits of the open data, the more sceptical government becomes (Safarov et al, 2017;Jamieson, Wilson & Martin, 2019). There is also a concern that not all citizens will be able to take advantage of the possibilities created by open data, which can in turn lead to increased inequality.…”

This article presents the analysis of the usage of open data and social media in the co-creation of public service innovation. The article concludes that using open data and social media in co-creation of public service innovation is a promising approach but not yet fully implemented. It seems clear that the advances in digital technology may provide a bridge for bringing service providers and service users together. The benefits are clear. First, the more accurate and real-time data available, the more effective the service provision will be. Second, the more citizen participation, the more tailored services can be co-created. Third, the more transparent governance becomes, the more legitimate and accountable it becomes. Fourth, governmental legitimacy increases societal trust which supports knowledge sharing and spurs innovation. However, co-creation of public service innovations can be more complex, more unpredictable, and more political than what the rhetoric indicates.

“…However, Zuiderwijk, Shinde, and Janssen (2019) found that the social benefits of OGD might be no or few, as OGD programs mainly deliver operational and technical benefits then secondly economic benefits, and lastly societal benefits. It has been recognized that it is difficult to harness the economic and social benefits that support innovations (Jamieson, Wilson, and Martin, 2019). On paper, OGD at least seems to have the goal to use a mixed value-governance, but it is also possible that OGD actors do not yet know the possible benefits of OGD.…”

“…However, the benefits of provision nodes are not straightforward, as providers supply the data sector with data; this work requires an investment of energy (Hossain, Dwivedi, and Rana, 2016;Safarov, Meijer, and Grimmelikhuijsen, 2017;Zuiderwijk, Shinde, and Janssen, 2019;Jamieson, Wilson, and Martin, 2019;Crusoe, 2021a).

Open Government Data as a Reform and Ecosystem : A conceptual framework for evolution and health

Introduktion: Öppna data är data som tillgängliggörs av offentliga organisationer (eng. open government data [OGD]) enligt vissa principer för att låta vem som helst återanvända data. I denna doktorsavhandling inom ämnet informationssystem undersöker jag samspelet mellan en OGD-reform och ett OGD-ekosystem samt olika typer av roller för aktörer. En OGD-reform förändrar delar av ett samhälle så att ett OGD-ekosystem kan organiseras för att realisera olika fördelar (till exempel ekonomisk tillväxt eller transparens). Ett OGD-ekosystem består i att aktörer delar data (tillhandahållare [eng. providers]) och vem som helst använder data. Rollen berikare (eng. enrichers) använder data för att utveckla produkter eller tjänster och sökare (eng. seekers) använder data, produkterna eller tjänsterna för att tillgodose deras behov.Problem och Syfte: Tidigare OGD-forskning tenderar att inkludera en OGD-reform i ett OGDekosystem, vilket kan begränsa möjligheterna att förstå ett ekosystems evolution och dess hälsa. Därför att en OGD-reform är tillfälliga förvandlingar, medan ett OGD-ekosystem är återkommande processer för ett mera specifikt ändamål. Denna situation kan dölja hur samspelet mellan en OGD-reform och ett OGD-ekosystem kan påverka OGD-ekosystemets hälsa. Hälsa är ett OGD-ekosystems förmåga att uppnå ett högre ändamål samtidigt som det gynnar dess aktörer utan att skada andra. Reform relaterar till evolution då båda berör förändringar av aktörer. Denna avhandling syftar till att reda ut detta samspel för att förstå hur samspelet kan påverka OGD-ekosysemets hälsa.Forskningsdesign: I avhandlingen studerades det svenska OGD-ekosystemet mellan 2016 och 2019, vilket senare utvidgades till internationella samarbeten mellan 2019 och 2021. Forskningen är kvalitativ och avhandlingen består av en kappa med fem artiklar: (1) en jämförelse mellan två organisationer som tillhandahåller öppna data, (2) ett ramverk som beskriver berikares arbete, (3) en diagnos av det svenska OGD-ekosystemet, (4) lärdomar från allmännyttiga tjänster (t.ex. vatten, el och kollektivtrafik) och (5) hur tillhandahållare och berikare kan beakta sökare i sitt arbete. Ett centralt, och syntetiserande, resultat i kappan är ett konceptuellt ramverk;reformekosystem (RE-EKO) ramverket.Resultat: RE-ECO-ramverket beskriver samspelet mellan en OGD-reform och ett OGDekosystem samt hur det kan påverka ekosystemets hälsa. En OGD-reform är konceptualiserad som ett spelbräde och ett OGD-ekosystem som ett havsekosystem. OGD-aktörer förändrar en ömsesidig struktur för att organisera ett OGD-ekosystem genom aktiviteter så som övertala, samarbeta, förändra och utvärdera. OGD-ekosystemet består av datacykler och identifieringsnoder som arbetar för att förverkliga vissa fördelar. OGD-aktörerna kan påverka hälsan hos ett OGD-ekosystem genom att omvandla deras lokala förhållanden, kliva mellan en OGD-reform och ett OGD-ekosystem och lastningar av mutationer.Bidrag: Doktorsavhandlingens teoretiska bidrag är RE-ECO-ramverket samt slutsatserna att (1) ett OGD-ekosystem är ett st...

“…The benefits associated with Open Government Data (OGD) is a recurring topic in the literature [6], [1], [7], [8]. OGD has been claimed to increase transparency and accountability [9], [1], [10], [11], [12] to promote the development of improved public policies [1], [7], [13], [8], [14], [10], foster the offer of new processes, products, and services [1], [10], [13], [11], and increase civic participation and public engagement [9], [11], [8], [13]. However, to harness its value and heap potential benefits, data should be used [11].…”

Although governments publish large amounts of open data, their use by the public sector is still in its infancy. Therefore, this study aims to gain insights into promoted benefits and factors that hinder (barriers), facilitate (enablers), and propel (drivers) Open Government Data (OGD) use and reuse by the public sector. A systematic literature review of 38 publications resulted in an overview of these factors. Findings suggest that OGD use benefits are increased transparency and the development of new/improved processes, products, and services. Moreover, open data institutionalization and pressure from external stakeholders drive the use. However, data issues and the lack of supporting open data organizational structure, capacity, and skills hinder OGD use. While the existence of open data policy and laws, motivated leadership, and open data infrastructure enable it. Thus, if OGD use is to reach maturity, administrations need to create the means to institutionalize open data.
