“…The number of open government strategies and initiatives in the past decade has increased significantly, and their principles are implemented continuously in more and more countries around the world. Open government data (OGD), corresponding infrastructures and ecosystems are the key tools for achieving political, social, economical, cultural and institutional benefits (Altayar, 2018; Lněnička and Nikiforova, 2021; Wang and Lo, 2016; Wang, 2020; Wirtz and Birkmeyer, 2015).

PurposeOpen government data (OGD) are considered as a technology capable of promoting transparency openness, and accountability, which in turn has a positive impact on innovation activities and creates responsive government, collaboration, cooperation, co-creation and participation. The purpose of this paper is to explore the adoption of OGD and open data portals among students, in an attempt to discover how governments can improve their actions in this respect.Design/methodology/approachThis study develops a behavioural intention-based analysis using constructs from the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology, which is supplemented with additional constructs that meet the purpose of the study. In total, ten constructs divided into 33 items constituted the input for our study. Input data for the developed model have been collected through a structured questionnaire distributed between bachelor's and master's level students in three countries – the Czech Republic, India and Latvia. A structural equation modelling technique was used to analyse the relationships between variables of the model and test the nine hypothesis defined.FindingsSix constructs have been identified to facilitate significant relationships with behavioural intention. The analysis of the results of the three countries allows us to draw more objective conclusions in respect to the aim of the study and to reveal country-specific aspects that need to be addressed in the future.Originality/valueThis study adds to the existing literature few theoretical and practical aspects. It highlights the role of open data portals as a central point of OGD infrastructures. It enables governments to understand the relationships among the related constructs, improving their actions and modifying their data infrastructures accordingly.

“…This claim is confirmed by the systematic research of Matheus and Janssen, who suggest a comprehensive model of determinants that will foster transparency enabled by open government data [17]. These data are exploited through open data portals, which, according to Lnenicka and Nikiforova [18], play the role of an interface that creates transparency. Release of government data on open data portals influences the processes that go toward contribution to transparency where corruption, wastage, and inefficiency take place the most.…”

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 open data portal includes the tools which help the users to find and harvest all relevant data from public sector databases. From the users' perspective, features of open data portals can be used to specify datasets they need and to request for datasets [29]. Thus, Open data portals play the role of interface between government data and citizens who use or reuse this data.…”
