Abstract

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 at how the benefits from such open-data driven or enabled changes are transmitted to communities at the grassroots.
