“…Understandability is a complex measure comprised of two parameters: Data Categories Description (DCD) and Data Sets Description (DSD), where the first one represents descriptions of data categories, while the second one denotes the existence of a description for each dataset. Understandability is calculated based on DCD and DSD parameters as given in Equation (8). DCD parameter constitutes 40% of the final Understandability value, while stronger influence is given to the DSD feature due to its direct relation to data.…”

Transparency evaluation in open government is a process of measuring the extent of transparency against a predefined set of indicators. In this paper, we address the existing initiatives regarding data and government transparency evaluation as two separate indicators and present the analysis of their advantages and drawbacks. Based on that analysis, we extend a part of the OpenGovB benchmark related to transparency in open government. What is unique about this benchmark is that it utilizes metadata of data published on the open government data portals to calculate the majority of indicators related to data transparency indicators. For the government transparency indicator evaluation, the benchmark utilizes some of the well-known transparency indicators. The article shows concrete results obtained from the application of the defined transparency evaluation model on 22 open data portals, thus demonstrating the possibilities of its application as well as the gains regarding generated results. The proposed model bridges the gap between available methodologies for evaluating transparency based on collaboration and participation and methodologies for evaluating transparency based on open data.

“…The full potential of OGD has not been realized, and one of the main reasons for that is related to the provision of metadata. Metadata provide documentation, context and necessary background information for interpreting OGD [20], and as such it is often considered as the key enabler for the effective use of linked open data in government domain [21]. To enable the interoperability of OGD and their linking within the Web of Data, they need to be modelled in a semantic way which ensures that data will be reached by linked data applications.…”

“…To the best of our knowledge, there is no similar work to what we propose, that deals with the production of interlinked government datasets based on its metadata. Some authors [8,10,13,16,20] discuss linking datasets based on their semantic description without going deeper into the metadata. That does not tackle information hidden in published OGD, which by our opinion can help in linking OGD datasets.…”

This paper describes the enhanced LIRE (LInked RElations) architecture for creating relations between datasets available on open government portals. The architecture is improved to be applicable on different open government data platforms using minimal configuration at the Data processing layer. We evaluated the applicability of enhanced LIRE, its advantages and disadvantages, which resulted in necessary recommendations for the publication of dataset's metadata to obtain better associations between datasets. Moreover, we introduced a LINDAT indicator that reflects the percentage of linked data in the total possible number of linked data on open government data portals.

“…In the context of digital government, semantic technologies and metadata models can greatly contribute to the efficient information sharing in digital government as well as searching and retrieval processes because metadata are used to consume the data released on those platforms. This is achieved by enabling a clearly structured manner of processing and understanding information by machines [20,29].…”

While many African countries have called for ICTbased intra-African collaboration, services, and trade, it is not known whether this call is technically feasible. For such intra-African based collaboration, semantic interoperability would be required between the national e-government systems. This paper reviewed the e-government interoperability frameworks (e-GIFs) of English and Arabic speaking African countries to identify the evidence and conflict approaches to semantic interoperability. The results suggest that only seven African countries have e-GIFs, which have mainly been adopted from the UK's e-Government Metadata Standards (eGMS) and on Dublin's Core metadata (DC). However, many of the e-GIFs, with the exception of Nigeria, have not been contextualized to the local needs. The paper, therefore, concluded that more effort needs to be placed in developing e-GIFs in Africa, with particular emphasis on semantic interoperability, if the dream of intra-African collaboration is to be achieved.
