由于公民参与和创新等预期利益，公共部门信息作为开放数据的发布越来越受到各级政府的关注。然而，目前政府公布数据仍然是一种新的做法，迄今为止，关于其好处、成本和障碍的经验和知识很少。由于缺乏对内部流程如何影响数据发布的了解，这一问题更加严重。本文的目的是更好地了解这些流程以及它们如何影响数据发布，即，找出公共部门信息发布的决定因素。为此，我们进行了研讨会，访谈，问卷调查，案头研究和实践为基础的情况下，在我们大学的教育计划，涉及六个地方公共部门组织。我们发现，数据的存储方式，数据的获取方式和数据被一个部门使用的方式是开放数据发布的关键指标。最后，我们总结了我们的研究结果的基础上吸取的教训。这些调查结果是：对数据发布应采取细致入微的方式，避免为发布数据而发布数据，并采取小的渐进步骤探索数据发布。(C)2014爱思唯尔公司All rights reserved.
Due to expected benefits such as citizen participation and innovation, the release of Public Sector Information as open data is getting increased attention on various levels of government. However, currently data release by governments is still novel and there is little experience and knowledge thus far about its benefits, costs and barriers. This is compounded by a lack of understanding about how internal processes influence data release. Our aim in this paper is to get a better understanding of these processes and how they influence data release, i.e., to find determinants for the release of public sector information. For this purpose, we conducted workshops, interviews, questionnaires, desk research and practice based cases in the education program of our university, involving six local public sector organizations. We find that the way data is stored, the way data is obtained and the way data is used by a department are crucial indicators for open data release. We conclude with the lessons learned based on our research findings. These findings are: we should take a nuanced approach towards data release, avoid releasing data for its own sake, and take small incremental steps to explore data release. (C) 2014 Elsevier Inc.
