Description
Summary:Open government data (OGD) can contribute to the development of innovation and achievement of economic goals. Open data can be reused for purposes other than those for which it was created. The real benefit of OGD is the ability to link data from several heterogeneous datasets. Linked Data is a collection of best practices related to the publication and connection of structured data on the Web. The article presents the concept of OGD along with technical aspects of data sharing, formats and the development of linked data. The results of the authors' research on the scale and methods of OGD provision in different countries were presented. The analysis includes four countries on different levels of open data maturity (USA, UK, Germany and Poland). For this purpose, the portals that perform functions of Central Repository for Public Information in selected countries were compared in terms of the number of datasets, formats of data and the possibility of their reuse. The aim of this paper is to identify the possibilities to create a business model based on open data. With this purpose in mind, available sources and their formats were analyzed. Particular attention has been paid to the issue of linking data, the quality and the value of the datasets. In support of the thesis about large business significance OGD, ideas were presented to use such data in various business models.
