Abstract

This case study aims to capture the complexity of emerging open data policies. It provides discussion regarding theoretical implications of its findings as well as proposing a typology of open data policies. Information was gathered through a set of semi-structured interviews and a workshop in Montevideo where public servants, civil society and developers took part in discussions about Open Data in the region. Focusing on Montevideo city, this case study explores the emergent environment of open data users and key structural elements that might allow it to flourish.
