The research trend of open government data utilization: A systematic review

Abstract

The open government data (OGD) movement has stimulated the opening and sharing of government data significantly. Data use, reuse and distribution, as well as value creation, is the next vital step in the global OGD movement. Summarizing current research progress of OGD utilization would lay a foundation for follow-up research and provide theoretical support for future practice. This poster conducted a systematic review on OGD utilization research mainly based on research articles, while other document types (e.g., important scientific reports) were also considered to demonstrate a more holistic scenario. The research trends of OGD utilization were summarized and future research directions were proposed based on research results. This poster revealed three research tendencies in OGD utilization studies. First, previous OGD utilization study was driven by the supply side, while current study tends to motivated by the demand side. Second, previous OGD utilization study was normally conducted from a macro viewpoint, while fine-grained research is more preferred currently. Third, previous research paid more attention on data usage by government departments, while data usage by the public attracts an increasing amount of attention currently. Several research topics are worth researching in the further, i.e the value of OGD utilization, diverse contexts for OGD utilization and solid support measures for OGD utilization
