“…The barriers and challenges of open data implementation discussed in the open data literature are primarily related to institutional factors (Conradie & Choenni, 2014;Janssen et al, 2012;Puron-Cid et al, 2016;Sieber & Johnson, 2015). A recent study in Switzerland identified institutional factors as one of the four main barriers that determine open data adoption (Cahlikova & Mabillard, 2020). Our analysis will follow this line of research and focus on institutional dimensions of open data implementation.…”

Over the past 10 years, we have observed a significant growth in open data adoption in governments across the globe. Potential barriers and enablers of open government data have been well-documented in the literature. However, nearly all of this research has been conducted in Western, democratic and developed societies, with very little known about open government data implementation in less developed countries. This article investigates how institutional dimensions affect open data implementation in six understudied countries: Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Moldova and Ukraine. This research presents rich data based on an analysis of 31 documents and focus group discussions with a total of 89 participants. In general, we find that in these countries the same institutional dimensions influence OGD implementation as in their Western counterparts. A striking difference, however, is that we find open data implementation in transition countries to be much more fragile and highly dependent on foreign aid initiatives. This paper also strengthens the argument that institutional dimensions explain the performance of open data implementation.

“…Despite OGD's potential transformative value [15], evidence of such transformation is scarce, as several barriers hinder or impede use. Some examples are unfavorable organizational culture towards open data [16], [17], [5], [18], users do not possess technical skills and training [2], high cost of hiring skilled people to use open data [19], [20], [13], [21], [16], [5], and difficulty to interact with data provider [1], [19], [22], [23].…”

“…Thus, to remove and ease barriers, researchers investigated and proposed enablers [4], [11], [12], and drivers [17], [21], [24]. External factors, such as pressure from international organizations to use OGD [21] and the existence of public open data policy, laws, and standards [24], [20], [25] compel administrations to use OGD. Others, such as favorable open data culture [4], [20], enable users to overcome corresponding barriers.…”

Although governments publish large amounts of open data, their use by the public sector is still in its infancy. Therefore, this study aims to gain insights into promoted benefits and factors that hinder (barriers), facilitate (enablers), and propel (drivers) Open Government Data (OGD) use and reuse by the public sector. A systematic literature review of 38 publications resulted in an overview of these factors. Findings suggest that OGD use benefits are increased transparency and the development of new/improved processes, products, and services. Moreover, open data institutionalization and pressure from external stakeholders drive the use. However, data issues and the lack of supporting open data organizational structure, capacity, and skills hinder OGD use. While the existence of open data policy and laws, motivated leadership, and open data infrastructure enable it. Thus, if OGD use is to reach maturity, administrations need to create the means to institutionalize open data.
