Abstract
In order to promote transparency, accountability, innovation and public participation Government worldwide started adopting Open Govermement Data (OGD) initiatives by making their governmental data available for the public through OGD national portals where users can search, interact and analyze published data. Promoting the usage of these portals is necessary as the value of OGD is perceived only when data is used. Therefore, evaluating their compliance with users ‘requirements is a major challenge to allow the achievement of expected benefits. For this aim, we propose in this work an evaluation model for OGD portals based on five main dimensions identified as having a high influence on their usage. The proposed evaluation model was applied to perform an evaluation of four national OGD portals.
