Open data barometer 4th edition: research handbook - v1.0 10th June 2016

Abstract

This guide introduces the assessment process of the Open Data Barometer, including information on the methodology, guidance on the sources that researchers can use, and how to cite them. The Open Data Barometer (ODB) is a global study that aims to uncover the true prevalence and impact of open government data initiatives. It provides detailed question-by-question scoring guidance and thresholds to be consulted while working through the research process. This assessment should focus on the update of the dataset itself and not on the metadata records associated with the data. The successful/ unsuccessful or inadequate search processes can indicate the status of information access and ongoing upkeep of “living” data.
