Abstract

The last decade as witnessed the development of Open Government Data programs with the promise of improved transparency, accountability and innovation. Capitalizing on those benefits translates into the development of better public policy and the promotion of economic development. Research in the domain has emphasized on technical issues, and we still lack a clear understanding of the main conditions to promote successful Open Government Data programs. Using the experience of the US Federal Government, including projects in 5 federal agencies, we contribute to the literature by stressing the importance of OGD policies, stakeholder communities and data management practices. Future research should focus on the understanding on governance and leadership models that enable effective implementation of the programs and engagement with relevant stakeholders and domain specific communities.
