2.2.5: Open Government Data
Other Information:
The current emergence of open data portals in the government context is opening great opportunities for collaborative government,
but it is happening in a scattered way leading to sub- optimal data reuse and impact. Open data publication needs to meet
requirements for timely publication but at the same time to ensure sufficient data quality. At a more advanced level, publication
of linked data requires significant effort and has encountered unequal success, but the benefits are high in terms of data
interoperability and deriving reuse and data quality. Linked data refers to a set of best practices for exposing, sharing,
and connecting structured pieces of data, information, and knowledge on the Web. Simplifying and lowering costs of open data
publication is indeed a key area of research. Curating tools (selecting, aggregating and presenting) and on- the- fly data
quality agreements will reduce the cost and time of data quality assurance. Finer grained data privacy solutions will also
contribute to increase the amount of public data being published, as well as enable real- time publication of data.
