“…The main goal of any social stakeholder group is not to seize government power, but to influence the government in their favor. This research is consistent with the results of Huang et al (2020) research according to the important component of transparency. The results of Ahmadu et al (2015) research are in agreement with the results of this research according to the importance of pressure groups on public policy-making.…”

“…Yang and Wu (2021) found in their research those governmental authorities use open data policies to investigate society's behaviors. Huang et al (2020) claimed in their research that can execute their policies more desirably and reduce the risk of pressure groups by transparency, accountability, civil participation, and cooperation. Admadu et al (2015) concluded in their research that the pressure group is an organized social interest group formed alone to pursue its goals/interests and to influence government policies.…”

This research aims at identifying the government political components based on the role of pressure groups in Iran using qualitative methods. The methodology of this research was grounded theory and interview tool. The statistical sample in this research was experts including 22 individuals who are the present and periodic representatives of the Islamic Consultative Assembly in Iran. This research was conducted in 3 coding processes of open coding, axial coding, and selective coding. According to the obtained results from this research, 71 codes were identified by interviewers which were classified in 6 grounded theory networks including axial issue, casual condition, contextual condition, intervening condition, policies, and consequences. Finally, the obtained results were validated.

“…At an even smaller scale, differences in risk perception of individual civil servants towards open data requirements are associated with different types of compliance‐related behavior, including whether they perform workarounds (H. Huang et al, 2020). Since factors that contribute to the risk aversion to open data in a particular entity may be opaque to researchers, technical developers, and members of partnering organizations and agencies, an accurate and honest assessment of the background level of risk aversion and specific “pain points” among the staff of a given organization can only increase the chances of a successful open data initiative or platform.…”

“…A growing body of interdisciplinary research on open data has documented numerous barriers that can prevent achievement of the full potential of open data, many of which are social rather than technological (Barry & Bannister, 2014; Conradie & Choenni, 2012; Conradie & Choenni, 2014; Crusoe & Melin, 2018; R. Huang et al, 2017; H. Huang et al, 2020; Janssen et al, 2012; Ma & Lam, 2019; C.

However, research on barriers to open data has not focused on environmental or water data.…”

Social barriers to open (water) data

Although the proliferation of open water data platforms and initiatives in recent years is a laudable phenomenon, there is little empirical evidence indicating whether and to what extent these efforts are generating anticipated benefits of improved transparency, citizen participation, innovation, and water resource decision making. Relatedly, water resource researchers have devoted little attention to identifying and accounting for barriers that may be limiting open water data efforts from realizing their potential. The premise of this overview is that (a) open water data efforts could be improved with a better understanding of the non‐technical challenges and that (b) water researchers interested in open water data would benefit from delving into the emerging body of research in public policy, information science, and other disciplines on open data barriers more broadly. However, the research on open data barriers has neglected water sustainability issues. In light of this asymmetry, the aim of this overview is to foster interdisciplinary engagement on this topic by introducing the water resource community to this literature via a discussion of key social barriers to open data. Additionally, I hope to motivate water resource researchers to develop a two‐way interdisciplinary engagement by making original research contributions to this larger literature.

While assessing the potential of a particular digital innovation initiative, especially when it has implications for a range of societal stakeholders, it becomes pertinent to understand the possible bottlenecks in its acceptability as well. In this regard, the present study seeks to understand how the Open Government Data (OGD) initiatives in Brazil are being confronted with bottlenecks in terms of their execution and acceptability. This exploratory study adopts a qualitative cross‐sectional research approach wherein interviews are being conducted with 11 managers working in public organizations and are directly associated with the OGD initiatives. Findings from the interview responses delineate internal and external factors, resource availability, data maintenance, and lack of knowledge as the key determinants for the bottlenecks associated with the execution and acceptability of OGD initiatives by the societal stakeholders. The study's originality lies in its theoretical contribution towards an understanding of how a novel digital innovation‐OGD, in the present case‐ is fraught with impediments in terms of its execution and acceptability. The study concludes with directions for further research and practitioner implications.
