Abstract

This research explores the current development of government open data in Taiwan by using a case study methodology. The study finds out that government open data has evolved to maturity in Taiwan and the authority plans to make laws to form a comprehensive government open data. Statistics show that government open data directly affects the value-added information, because it could help the public to access the government open data more effectively and makes it easier for the public to create value-added government information. Six dimensions are suggested to focus on during the initial development of government open data. The six dimensions are legislation and policy, sharing approaches, technological standard and data format, types of open data, promotions of open data, and copyright and license.
