- Public organizations release their data for use by the public to open the government. Various benchmarks for evaluating the progress of open data adoption have emerged recently. In order to help bring about a better understanding of the common and differentiating elements in open data benchmarks and to identify the methodologies and metrics affecting their variation, this article compares open data benchmarks and describes lessons learned from their analysis. An interpretive meta-analysis approach was used and five benchmarks were compared with regard to metadata (key concepts, themes, and metaphors), meta-methods (methodologies underlying the benchmarks) and metatheories (theoretical assumptions at the foundation of the benchmarks). It was found that each benchmark has its strengths and weaknesses and is applicable in specific situations. Since the open data benchmarks have a different scope and focus and use different methodologies, they produce different results in terms of country ranks. There is an obvious gap in both the literature and benchmarks regarding the evolution of end-user practices and individual adoption of open data. Furthermore, lessons are drawn for the development of more comprehensive open data benchmarks and open government evaluation in general.

- There is a lack of research concerning the factors influencing the success or failure of open data initiatives. Based on the results of two workshops, we provide a list of 47 success factors for open data publication and 18 success factors for open data use. We further use three case studies (ENGAGE, Open NY, and Open Vienna) to examine how the criticality of factors varies depending on the geographical level and other characteristics of the open data initiative. The cases, representing open data initiatives at city, regional and transnational levels, point at different categories of critical success factors. Our key conclusions are that 1) the criticality of the factors depends considerably on the context of the open data initiative; 2) a number of success factors appear to be more universally applicable than others; 3) the factors that are critical to all three cases are derived from many different success factor categories, which suggests that open data initiatives should adopt an interdisciplinary approach, and 4) further work is needed to detail the success factors for open data publication and use in other contexts.

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Governmental organizations around the globe step up their efforts to implement open data initiatives as part of their open government commitments. Thereis, however, little systematic evidence, in research and practice, as to what constitutes a “successful” open data initiative. In this workshop, we follow up on our previous work on Critical Success Factors (CSF) for open data. In particular, we aim to establish which of the CSFs that we previously identified apply in which contexts -thus allowing for a more fine-grained and targeted advice to open data practitioners. The workshop participants will be provided with the results from our previous research on factors that influence the success of open data initiatives and can benefit from the structured group discussions on factors that are critical to open data initiatives in a particular context

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Little is known about the factors which influence the success or failure of open data initiatives. Based on the results of a workshop, we provide a list of success factors for open data publication and use (64 in total) and discuss their criticality in a particular setting using a case study (the ENGAGE project). The most critical success factors for open data publication and use, in the context of this case study, related to legislation, regulation and licenses. However,the criticality of factors depends considerably on the context of the open data initiative. Our key conclusions are that further work is needed to detail the success factors for open data publication and use in particular contexts, and that a number of success factors, such as those related to sustainability of publication process and user feedback, appear to be more universally applicable than others.
