    Case study : open government data in Rio de Janeiro city
    (2014-08) Matheus, Ricardo; Maia Ribeiro, Manuella
    This case study of Rio de Janeiro examines challenges for local public sector organizations in terms of agenda setting, formulation of public policy, implementation and evaluation channels/models. It has six further sections related to: emergence of open data policy; policy design; supply and information resources; users; impacts; and final considerations. In 2014 the Open Data Portal of Rio de Janeiro was launched, alongside the Decree of Open Government and Data of the City Hall. More bottom-up elements would help create balance between public participation in open data usage via civil society and highly trained teams, to enhance transparency inside the government.

    Datos abiertos en paises en desarrollo
    (World Wide Web Foundation, Washington, D.C., 2014-09) Davies, Tim
    ¿Cómo pueden los países en desarrollo obtener todos los beneficios de los datos abiertos? ¿Cómo se pueden implementar iniciativas de datos abiertos en formas que respondan al contexto local? ¿Cuáles son las barreras que impiden que se consiga un mayor impacto? Para responder a este tipo de preguntas, la Red de Investigación “Explorando los impactos emergentes de los Datos Abiertos en países en desarrollo” (ODDC, por sus siglas en inglés) ha estado realizado estudios de investigación sobre las actividades en relación con los datos abiertos en trece países diferentes de tres continentes. Utilizando métodos de investigación de casos de estudio, 17 socios de investigación locales han tratado de comprender las dinámicas de la provisión, la intermediación y la utilización de los datos abiertos en varios contextos: desde la revisión detallada de los presupuestos generales a la supervisión de los sistemas judiciales. Este informe ofrece 15 perspectivas emergentes a modo de síntesis preliminar de esta investigación, y que se proponen como base para futuras conversaciones sobre la materia.

    Embedding open data practice : developing indicators on the institutionalisation of open data practice in two African governments
    (UCT IP Unit, 2015-06) Schalkwyk, François van; Willmers, Michelle; Schonwetter, Tobias
    The research examines aspects of change processes within African institutions, including multiple levels of government. Assigning open data licenses to datasets is the focus of the study, as a unified legal framework around open datasets is viewed as particularly important. Three indicator categories were developed in order to measure change, each of which relates to the uptake of, and possible tension inherent in open data practice at both the middle and under-structure levels of governmental organization. Project findings suggest there are clearly tensions to resolve in terms of reconciling values and norms across organizational levels that make up governments.

    Embedding open data practice : developing indicators on the institutionalization of open data practice in two African governments
    (World Wide Web Foundation, Washington, D.C., 2015-06) van Schalkwyk, François; Willmers, Michelle; Schonwetter, Tobias
    What are the socio-technical conditions under which open data initiatives in public agencies are likely to succeed in institutional domains? Is open data practice being embedded in African governments? With its focus on developing country contexts, the research of the Emerging Impacts of Open Data in Developing Countries project, combined with this study, contribute to better understanding of change processes in institutions. The study measures open data practice at all levels of government to develop a deeper understanding of embedded barriers as well as enablers of change. Licensing indicates compliance with a fundamental tenet of open data: unrestricted re-use.

    Emerging impacts in open data in the judiciary branches in Argentina, Chile and Uruguay
    (World Wide Web Foundation, Washington, D.C., 2014-08) Elena, Sandra; Aquilino, Natalia; Pichón Rivière, Ana
    Policies for openness and use of data can improve accountability as well as the efficiency of judicial systems. This study focuses on the openness of judiciary branch data and its impact in Latin America (Argentina, Chile, Uruguay). Findings and recommendations are associated with communicating the lessons learned, strengthening networks, and promoting cooperation among the various stakeholders involved. It is noteworthy that as intermediaries, civil society organizations help clarify and present information to the public while reducing the necessity of technical knowledge for comprehension. Data from the three countries is analysed and compared in terms of transparency and open governance.

    Exploring the emerging impacts of open aid data and budget data in Nepal
    (World Wide Web Foundation, Washington, D.C., 2014-09) Sapkota, Krishna
    Nepal underwent a second Constituent Assembly (CA) election in November 2013, an important precursor for transparent and accountable governance. This case study explores whether and how open data can make a relevant contribution to governance and inclusive citizen empowerment. The project sought to understand interactions of key stakeholders and to develop recommendations for intelligent action in the future. In countries like Nepal, where internet access is low, mainstream media are vital open data intermediaries. The study revealed that there is a gap between open data efforts and the information needs and practices of civil society and journalists in Nepal.

    Exploring the role and opportunities for open government data and new technologies : opportunities in Maternal Health and Child Care (MHCC) & Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs); : the case of the Philippines
    (2014-09) Ona, Sherwin; Hecita, Ian Jason; Ulit, Estefanie
    Open Data Philippines aims to foster transparency, participation and collaboration. The case studies explore open data (OD) in two priority development areas: Maternal Health and Childcare (MHCC); and Micro-Small and Medium Scale Enterprises (MSME). The paper examines the type of data sets, current usage, how ICT can be used by local stakeholders, and as well, how data sets are sourced, created and stored. An earlier (2007) assessment of the Philippine health information system indicates the existence of core problems in those systems. From recognizing gaps in OD practices, next steps are proposed on how to operationalize open data in MHCC.

    Exploring the role and opportunities for open government data and new technologies in MHCC and MSME : the case of the Philippines
    (World Wide Web Foundation, Washington, D.C., 2014-09) Ona, Sherwin
    These case studies explore the potential of open data in two priority development areas: Maternal Health and Childcare (MHCC) and Micro-Small and Medium Scale Enterprises (MSME). By asking the question, “how are data sets used in community health and local cooperatives?” the study examined types of data sets, current uses, and how ICT can be used by local stakeholders. Recognizing gaps in open data (OD) practices, recommendations are made for local government units (LGUs) to spearhead the OD initiatives in their respective areas as LGUs act as the “front liners” for the delivery of public services.

    Fostering a critical development perspective on open government data
    (World Wide Web Foundation, Washington, D.C., 2012-04)
    This initial consultation explored options for the implementation of a research agenda aimed at better understanding the impact of open data. The meeting brought together 20 renowned policy-oriented academics from diverse geographical areas and backgrounds in order to discuss an interdisciplinary research agenda on the impact of Open Government Data (OGD) initiatives. A social and developmental lens helps focus not only on reforms to political systems, or creation of new economic enterprises, but how the benefits from such open-data driven are transmitted to communities at the grassroots.

    Fostering a Critical Development Perspective on Open Government Data : workshop report
    (2012-04) International Development Research Centre; World Wide Web Foundation; Berkman Center at Harvard University
    There is a lack of empirical evidence underlying implementation of Open Data initiatives that might guide better practice and policy formulation, particularly as they spread to developing countries. The objective of the meeting was to discuss a policy-oriented research agenda that would enable Open Government Data programs in the Global South to foster a greater quality of openness and to support citizens’ rights. The key issue is how Open Data - particularly in the developing world – may work to challenge democratic deficits, create economic value and foster inclusion.

    Open cities : the case of Montevideo
    (2014-07) Scrollini, Fabrizio
    Focusing on Montevideo city, this study explores the emergence of a nascent environment for open data users and providers, and some key structural elements that allow for it. Cities around the world are releasing datasets about transport, health, public services, geographical information and even rats sightings, yet there is no clear measurement for how the release of datasets will improve lives of city dwellers. As cities go open, a key area for understanding is how this development fits into previous accounts of urban governance and growth. Another significant question is to what extent a city can be ‘smart’ and open at the same time.
