Abstract

In discussions of Open Government Data (hereafter referred to as open data or OGD) in the academic literature, the question of what is meant by the word "open"? has to date received only limited attention. The use of Open Government Data (OGD) has spread globally as governments make more of their data available via electronically accessible formats for individuals to use and share. OGD is seen as something that has the potential to play an important role in achieving transparency, and accountability, enabling new forms of civic participation, and stimulates economic growth and development. However, there is a need to examine OGD datasets to determine whether they are truly open. The purpose of this paper is to investigate OGD openness based on a number of existing or proposed open data definitions and principles. The principles proposed by the work of the Open Government Working Group will be analyzed. The methodology that has been used to collect the data includes OGD website content analysis, participant observation and semi-structured interviews using purposeful and snowball sampling techniques. The results in this paper are just part of the overall study. This research has not been funded. The research limitation is it has been done only in the Irish context. It is an original study with primary data. The conclusion of this research mainly demonstrates that OGD in the Irish context is progressing but requires further work to be open based on the principles proposed by the Open Government Working Group works.

开放有多开放?对两个爱尔兰政府公开数据网站的研究
在学术文献中对开放政府数据(以下简称开放数据或OGD)的讨论中,“开放”一词的含义是什么?迄今为止只受到有限的关注。开放政府数据(OGD)的使用已在全球范围内普及,各国政府通过电子可访问格式提供更多的数据,供个人使用和共享。政府OGD被视为有潜力在实现透明度和问责制、促进新形式的公民参与以及刺激经济增长和发展方面发挥重要作用。然而,有必要检查OGD数据集,以确定它们是否真正开放。本文的目的是基于一些现有的或提议的开放数据定义和原则来研究OGD的开放性。分析开放政府工作小组工作中提出的原则。用于收集数据的方法包括OGD网站内容分析,参与者观察和使用有目的和滚雪球抽样技术的半结构化访谈。本文的结果只是整体研究的一部分。这项研究还没有得到资助。研究的局限性在于它只在爱尔兰的背景下进行。这是一项具有原始数据的原创研究。这项研究的结论主要表明,爱尔兰背景下的政府信息公开正在取得进展,但需要根据开放政府工作组工作提出的原则进行进一步的开放工作。
