Abstract
Findings from the fourth edition of the Open Data Barometer (ODB) show that while some governments are advancing towards openness in governance, open data remains the exception, not the rule. The ODB ranks 115 governments in terms of openness, readiness, implementation of initiatives, and impact in alignment with the principles of the Open Data Charter. In most cases, the right policies are not in place, nor is the breadth and quality of the datasets sufficient. Only 7% of the data is fully open; only one of every two datasets is machine readable; and only one in four datasets has an open licence.
