Governments failing to provide usable open data, hindering public access
The article explores the quality of open data provided by governments in the UK, the USA, and Korea. The researchers analyzed different data formats and completeness to identify key issues. They found that the USA and the UK mostly have data that is hard for machines to read, while Korea has more machine-readable data. All three countries have incomplete data in their open datasets. The study suggests that governments should focus on correcting incomplete data in the most frequently used datasets to improve the overall quality of government open data.
