dc.description.abstractReferences to openness and transparency are found in a large number of blogs, academic papers and increasingly, in political speeches- especially close to election time. Freedom of Information (FOI) legislation and Open Government Data (OGD) policies are key elements in areas of transparency, accountability and openness. This report assesses whether the differences and similarities between the two information-related initiatives of FOI and OGD requires examination of similar or different variables. The second part focuses on major existing rankings, indices and other measurements used for these initiatives. The last section suggests potential areas for future research.en
