Overview of reviewed articles and identified research perspectives of studying the use of OGD to create social value in cities characterized by four different themes.

The current work aims to identify the perspectives from which scholars have studied the link between the citizens’ involvement in the use of Open Government Data (OGD) and the creation of social value to solve local issues in cities as the expected result. Recent studies have concentrated on studying the barriers and conditions of using OGD by focu...

... the fourth theme concerns understanding the OGD impact or value, and the research is done to understand the effects or assessment mechanisms to unveil the value of using OGD. The reviewed and categorized articles included in Table 2 are the records that met the inclusion criteria listed in Table 1. The categorization of the identified articles is shown in Table 2. ...Citations
... The cluster citizen's situation shows that many citizens lack the time (ISS1) to be informed and participate [9,31,41], even if they are aware of the project and their influence [20]. Another challenge is the lack of expertise and knowledge, as more time would allow participants to inform themselves better and can prevent citizens from participating as they do not feel comfortable submitting meaningful contributions [4,49]. Therefore, citizens should be informed during the participation about their possibilities and the project to overcome the lack of knowledge (ISS2) [9,16,33,39,49,70]. ...

Therefore, citizens should be informed during the participation about their possibilities and the project to overcome the lack of knowledge (ISS2) [9,16,33,39,49,70]. This also affects advertising campaigns before and during the participation, which is attributable to a lack of acceptance of urban projects (ISS3) [9,24,28,33,43,49,69], as citizens are often unaware of their impact and the chance of co-developing their living environment. ...

This is enhanced if the participation objective is unclear or irrelevant for them or if citizens mistrust the initiator due to intransparent processes, which can create the impression that their contributions do not have any influence [6]. ...
Urbanization and the transformation toward sustainability pose new challenges to governments, leading to an increase in citizen participation in urban planning. Due to the demand for scalability, urban participation is often conducted online. However, past projects showed that the asynchronous and impersonal exchange reduces the value of citizens’ submissions as inquiries are omitted. Thus, this study investigates how to design an IT artifact to support citizens in contributing to online participation in urban planning projects. To do so, we initiated a design science research project. We analyzed the literature to define issues, formulate meta-requirements, and derive design principles to develop and qualitatively evaluate an AI-based prototype that enables immediate responses to citizens considering their contributions. This study contributes to the field of information systems with prescriptive knowledge. Furthermore, this study can guide practitioners in citizen participation in urban planning in building and utilizing digital tools to support citizens in contributing to subsequent processes.
Open government data (OGD) is seen as a political and socio-economic phenomenon that promises to promote civic engagement and stimulate public sector innovations in various areas of public life. To bring the expected benefits, data must be reused and transformed into value-added products or services. This, in turn, sets another precondition for data that are expected to not only be available and comply with open data principles, but also be of value, i.e., of interest for reuse by the end-user. This refers to the notion of “high-value dataset” (HVD), recognized by the European Data Portal as a key trend in the OGD area in 2022. While there is a progress in this direction, e.g., the Open Data Directive, incl. identifying 6 key categories, a list of HVDs and arrangements for their publication and re-use, they can be seen as “core”/“base” datasets aimed at increasing interoperability of public sector data with a high priority, contributing to the development of a more mature OGD initiative. Depending on the specifics of a region and country - geographical location, social, environmental, economic issues, cultural characteristics, (under)developed sectors and market specificities, more datasets can be recognized as of high value for a particular country. However, there is no standardized approach to assist chief data officers in this, and there is a clear lack of conceptualizations for the determination of HVD and systematic oversight. In this paper, we present a systematic review of existing literature on the HVD determination, which is expected to form an initial knowledge base for this process, including used approaches and indicators to determine them, data, stakeholders.KeywordsOpen Government DataHigh-value DataOpen DataPublic ValuePublic AdministrationStakeholderOpen Data Ecosystem
