| Summary: | Data are growing rapidly, and technological breakthroughs are adding new methods and strategies to tackle big data. Thus, research challenges exist to explore the value of big data in supporting improved decision-making and public service delivery across various industries. In recent years, many countries have started to utilize Open Government Data (OGD) in developing open environments and platforms to improve their economies, enabling small and medium enterprises (who may lack the resources to undertake their independent market analysis) to use them. Qatar is no exception; it has begun to promote and make it available to everyone, including small and medium-sized companies. That is due to the potential economic returns and enhanced transparency. This research looks at aspects of OGD and the situation in Qatar. In addition, we collected data from various organizations and stakeholders using two questionnaires. The key goals of the two independent questionnaires were to investigate the amount of knowledge of OGD as a concept, how Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in Qatar perceive present OGD platforms, and how OGD may be improved to fulfill the requirements of SMEs. Further, regardless of gender or educational level, most Qatari youth and adults reacted positively to using OGD. |
