“…While OGD only becomes valuable when used (Attard et al, 2016b;Janssen et al, 2012), the main challenge of OGD is releasing this value via a creation process (Attard et al, 2016b). Thus, such a process seeks to make the data more suitable and/or tractable for further use (Attard et al, 2016b) via purposeful efforts by stakeholders (Martin, 2014), which in turn allows the OGD-related effects to unfold.…”

There is a general expectation that open government data (OGD) can lead to the generation of value for government, business, and society. However, there appears to be a lack of scholarly literature that empirically validates what this value is or how it emerges. This paper addresses this concern by exploring what empirical evidence currently exists about the effects stemming from OGD in the case literature. Through the use of a literature review, 17 papers capturing empirical evidence were identified and, from these papers, a systematic collection of statements was extracted from which 173 were retained to construct what we term nine stylised facts. The identified stylised facts depicting features and correlations provide some insights into the de facto positive, negative and/or inconclusive effects relating to OGD as opposed to simply opinions and beliefs.

“…As government is one of the principal producers and collectors of data in a vast array of domains, government data is often viewed as a valuable resource offering great opportunities to stakeholders if it is openly available. Most notably, several scholars have argued that the creation of public value is one of these opportunities, if not the most important one (Attard et al, 2016;Hui and Hayllar, 2010;Lee and Kwak, 2012;Zuiderwijk and Janssen, 2014) and many practitioners mention the creation of public value as one of the key goals of open data initiatives . Generally, the promise of OGD is that it has a positive impact on society in four pivotal areas: 1) government transparency and accountability, 2) citizen inclusion and empowerment, 3) government efficiency and effectiveness, and 4) economic growth (Davies, 2013).…”

Linked data is a technical standard to structure complex information and relate independent sets of data. Recently, governments have started to use this technology for bridging separated data 'silos' by launching linked open government data (LOGD) portals. The purpose of this conceptual paper is to explore the role of LOGD as a smart technology and strategy to create public value. This is achieved by enhancing the usability and visibility of open data provided by public organizations. In this study, three different LOGD governance modes are deduced: public agencies could release linked data via a dedicated triple store, via a shared triple store or via an open knowledge base. Each of these modes has different effects on usability and visibility of open data. Selected case studies illustrate the actual use of these three governance modes. According to this study, LOGD governance modes present a trade-off between retaining control over governmental data and potentially gaining public value by the increased use of open data by citizens. This study provides recommendations for public sector organizations for the development of their data publishing strategy to balance control, usability and visibility considering also the growing popularity of open knowledge bases such as Wikidata.

“…Recent years has seen several studies tried to prove that the OGD initiatives has created a value and impact whether from the economic, social or the political perspective. The study by [13], [14] seek to measure the OGD implementation successfulness through public value perspective. While, [15], [16] explore the OGD implementation from business perspective.…”

The paper presents a preliminary study of current progress and the issues of OGD implementation in Malaysia. With this objective, the authors attempt to identify initial factors that influence OGD implementation in the public sectors and discern how far the OGD initiative in Malaysia has grown since its inception. The authors make the highlight of the OGD implementation phase rather than adoption phase due to the research aim is to look at the OGD activities beyond adoption. Adoption phase is where the organization is in the state of deciding whether to adopt an innovation or not, while the implementation phase is the extent where the innovation is taking into actual use. Taking from the perspective of the central agency who is leading the OGD initiative, by using interview, observation, and desk research as the research approaches, the issues pertaining to OGD implementation is consolidated into the technology-organization-environment framework. The findings have indicated that data granularity, culture, policy, resources, skills, incentives, use and participation, and external pressure are the current issues transpired in the OGD implementation. These findings are contributing to the conceptual framework of authors' future works in determining the factors influencing OGD post-adoption in the public sectors.
