“…Whereas big data is characterized by the Vs of data, open data enables its access by a large audience . Data can be downloaded from open data portals or used through data streaming (Attard et al 2015). At the same time tapping into these vast amounts of data provides the potential to improve activities of public organizations .…”

Open data refers to the publishing of information in standard formats that are interoperable and open in order to ease its access and reuse for many purposes such as to encourage citizen participation in the development of their cities and to improve economic opportunities. The strategies of open data have gained the attention of government organizations to ensure transparency and reusability of the data. Many governments across the world have promoted openness as a strategy. Open data enables a government to be transparent and accountable to the citizens of the country. Smart cities is concerned with improving the urban environment by efficiently using existing resources. Those resources can be better understood using linked open data. In the contemporary context, organizations face difficulties in linked open data management, and there is a lack of awareness about the steps to be taken. Additionally, there is no standardized linked open data life cycle yet. This paper proposes a comprehensive open data life cycle model based on literature covering both data supply and demand processes and involving the roles of internal and external stakeholders. The paper presents thorough details of the suggested open data life cycle. The discussed models in the literature have highlighted technical aspects for a smooth and secure publication. Open data life cycle models have the potential of facilitating the procedure of opening up data. They offer phases and steps related to opening up data thus play a pivotal role in the successful application of open data.

“…There are ample private organizations mandated to perform a certain public task and generate data in the process, yet, these organizations are often exempted from open government data policies. However, it could be argued that data generated in the process of performing a public task are a public good [18] and should, therefore, adhere to the same open data principles. Geographical data, such as topographical maps and the underlying Earth observation data, energy data, and health data are top-listed by the European Commission for release as open government data due to the high demand from re-users [23].…”

Abstract:In recent years, there has been an increasing trend of releasing public sector information as open data. Governments worldwide see the potential benefits of opening up their data. The potential benefits are more transparency, increased governmental efficiency and effectiveness, and external benefits, including societal and economic benefits. The private sector also recognizes potential benefits of making their datasets available as open data. One such company is Liander, an energy network administrator in the Netherlands. Liander views open data as a contributing factor to energy conservation. However, to date there has been little research done into the actual effects of open data. This research has developed a monitoring framework to assess the effects of open data, and has applied the framework to Liander's small-scale energy consumption dataset.
