推动开放数据的目的是提高政府透明度、激励公民参与和释放商业创新。然而，各种相互交织的障碍阻碍了开放数据的采用。它们源于立法和许可、技术和运营、使用水平、制度和治理以及经济考虑。通过使用社交网络分析 (SNA)，本研究确定了香港开放数据项目中利益相关者面临的 43 个障碍，并调查了它们的相互依赖性。香港因其在全球开放数据指数中排名较低（第24位）且数据质量较差而被选为代表案例。会议发现，应优先解决缺乏开放数据政策的问题，为公共部门提供技术指导，确保数据质量并实现预期成果。还有必要提高公共部门的信息技术素养/思维方式，完善与开放数据计划交付相关的治理结构，鼓励私营实体的参与并为用户提供反馈循环。本研究探讨了开放数据采用的各种障碍之间的相互关系，并提出了在新兴“智慧城市”背景下加强开放数据发展的实用建议。
The drive towards open data aims at improving government transparency, motivating citizen participation and unlocking commercial innovation. However, various intertwining barriers hinder the adoption of open data. They are stemming from legislation and licensing, technology and operation, use level, institution and governance, as well as economic considerations. Through the use of social network analysis (SNA), this study identified 43 barriers faced by stakeholders in an open data project in Hong Kong and investigated their interdependencies. Hong Kong was selected as a representative case due to its relatively low ranking in the Global Open Data Index (24th) and poor data quality. It was found that the lack of an open data policy should be tackled as a matter of priority to provide technical guidance for the public sector, ensure data quality and achieve expected outcomes. It is also necessary to improve the IT literacy/mindset of the public sector, refine the governance structure relating to the delivery of open data initiatives, encourage engagement from private entities and provide a feedback loop for users. This study explored the interrelationships between various barriers to open data adoption and proposes practical recommendations to enhance open data development in the context of emerging "smart cities".
