“…Stakeholder analysis and perspectives analysis show that add value to OGD by exposing the identity, power, motivations, and worldview of key actors [11]. They provide a necessary foundation of knowledge for both researchers and practitioners who need to understand the different meanings of OGD in any particular context [11].Despite the impact and benefits of the usability, previous research has demonstrated that a great deal of emphasis is placed on the availability of datasets over other aspects of these initiatives [12]. This may de-emphasize work to enhance the navigation and usability of the system itself.…”

“…Others have found that OGD portals situate the government as a data custodian rather than a service provider [13,14]. Although studies have examined policies [13,15], data sources [12,16], theoretical research on data publics [17], efforts to promote OGD portals on social media [18], and the use of these tools by technology-savvy users [19], we found that there is very limited research related to the feedback on the performance of open data portals and the use of this data from user's perspective as they engage in local decision-making processes.…”

Open Government Data (OGD) portals make data publicly available to promote transparency, innovation, and value creation. Although these data sets are available and used by a broad audience, little is known about how users engage with this data and the websites where they are hosted. The City of Cincinnati hosts an award-winning Open Government Data Portal and is used as a case study in this paper to understand the decision-making needs of OGD end-users. The portal allows users to access local data sets such as crime reports, permits and licenses, market analysis, education/research data, viewing public safety, and public health, as part of a local OGD initiative. To investigate users' social, economical, political and other decision-making needs, this study is conducted in two steps 1) a think-aloud activity, and 2) a design iteration combined with heuristic evaluation. Observing the use of the portal through this user study provided insights into user expectations as well as system and information requirements illustrated in design implications for OGD systems.

“…To this end, PSOs could use the ideas and knowledge of contributors through coproduction activities facilitated, for instance, by innovation competitions such as hackathons, cooperathon or startup weekends. PSOs could also foster the self-provision of services by citizens through the installation of appropriate infrastructures, such as community portals for collaborative decision-making [10] and through effective incentives [35].…”

Public sector organizations (PSOs) are facing important structural, financial, environmental, and technological pressures. To adapt and respond to this complex and changing environment, PSOs need to deploy new innovative and collaborative approaches to capture and capitalize on specialized knowledge coming from a wider number of contributors. Open innovation (OI) is one such promising approach. Drawing on a dynamic capabilities perspective and based on an analysis of 100 case study reports of OI initiatives, we identified 16 key organizational actions deployed by PSOs to implement OI initiatives. Data analysis showed that PSOs' dynamic capabilities of sensing, seizing and transforming are enacted and collectively used to engage in OI initiatives through these 16 organizational actions. In virtually all of these organizational actions, information technology (IT) plays a key role either as a central support tool or as an outcome.

Towards a Common Definition of Open Data Intermediaries

The role of open data intermediaries is considered instrumental in the supply and use of open data. There are various definitions of open data intermediaries in the literature and some of them are quite different from each other. These definitions can benefit from harmonization so that knowledge about open data intermediaries can be developed on top of a shared understanding of what open data intermediaries mean. The objective of this paper is to propose a common definition of open data intermediaries. We first carried out a systematic literature review and compiled the definitions of open data intermediaries from the literature. We found that each definition can be broken down into four basic components: (i) Who are the actors of open data intermediaries? (ii) What do they do? (iii) Where are they located in the open data lifecycle? and (iv) Why are they needed? We then conducted another round of data gathering and analysis to substantiate the four basic components. We proposed the following common definition of open data intermediaries: third party actors who provide specialized resources and capabilities to (i) enhance the supply, flow, and/or use of open data and/or (ii) strengthen the relationships among various open data stakeholders.
