Data Utilization in Open Government Data Ecosystem:Bottlenecks and Configurations
Currently,the level of open government data(OGD)utilization in China remains generally low.Revealing the necessary conditions and configurations for achieving a high level of OGD utilization is crucial for unlocking data value and fostering digital economic development.Based on the theory of the innovation ecosystem,this paper constructs an analysis framework for the OGD ecosystem.It combines the necessary condition analysis and qualitative comparative analysis methods to examine the necessary conditions and configurations for achieving high level OGD utilization across 27 provincial regions in China.It is found that providers,OGD platforms,and technical environment are the necessary conditions for generating high level OGD utilization,forming bottlenecks at the levels of 74.70%,77.00%,and 45.00%,respectively.Three types of configurations leading to high level OGD utilization are found:supply type,supply-demand type,and comprehensive type.To enhance OGD utilization,local governments should address the leaky bucket issue,adopt a combination blow,and focus on the driving effect of the demand side.
