Ethical Data Management

Data, lately, has received a lot of attention from various circles such as government officials, the community, businesses, law enforcement, and also civil society. The reason is actually very simple, because credible data is the key to the quality of development and good governance. Public policy, public services, law enforcement, government performance monitoring, and business opportunities all require credible data. Unfortunately, in practice, data is still often not managed seriously. There are still many cases where there are data that not only have various versions, but often also contradict each other. The One Data Initiative, or commonly called One Data Indonesia, is one of the Indonesian government's initiatives that tries to fix problems in the implementation and management of government data. The development of this initiative is also overseen by the Open Government Indonesia Action Plan. Along with welcoming International Open Data Day which falls on March 4, 2017, As an initiative that is being promoted by the central government regarding data governance reform within the Indonesian government, One Data Indonesia is an initiative that is expected to help the integration of planning, implementation, monitoring, evaluation, and control of development between the central government and the regions, and at the next level is the disclosure of government data that can be used by the community. In addition, the implementation of One Data is also expected to accelerate the implementation of the Electronic-Based Government System (SPBE/E-government) which is being prepared, both in terms of regulations and operational stages, by a number of related agencies involving the Presidential Staff Office, the Ministry of National Development Planning/Bappenas, the Ministry of PAN & RB, the Ministry of Communication and Informatics, and the State Administration Institution. In principle, Satu Data Indonesia strives to encourage better government data governance. Good data governance is highly dependent on quality and consistency in data management. For this reason, Satu Data Indonesia defines good data governance into three main principles. The three main principles that will be encouraged through the One Data Indonesia policy are: (i) a single standard data standard, (ii) one standard metadata, and (iii) data interoperability. With the application of these principles, it is hoped that the One Data policy will be able to realize an accountable, accurate, integrated, up-to-date, and open data management system. These three principles will be implemented through the Presidential Regulation on One Data that we are currently compiling. Currently, the initiation of One Data has reached the finalization stage of the preparation of the Presidential Regulation on One Data Indonesia. If it has been passed, the Presidential Regulation on One Data Indonesia is expected to stimulate efforts to improve government data governance in Indonesia. This means that the use of data will be more structured and will improve the quality of policies and public services in Indonesia as well. In addition, to ensure the smooth implementation later, pilot activities are also being carried out in seven ministries, institutions and also seven local governments. At the central government level, the One Data Initiative is currently being pilotedn in several Ministries, including the Ministry of National Development Planning/Bappenas and the Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries. At the local government level, the implementation of One Data Indonesia has been piloted in several pilot areas, including DKI Jakarta Province, Demak Regency, Bojonegoro Regency, Semarang City, Banda Aceh City, Mojokerto City, and Pontianak City. There are actually several priorities that can be resolved in order to facilitate the implementation of One Data Indonesia. First, harmonization between the role of Presidential Regulations (Perpres) and Regional Regulations (Perda). Second, finding a clear business process for the implementation of One Data Indonesia both in the Ministries/Institutions of a region. Third, the integration of other Ministries/Institutions data portals in one portal, to facilitate access and use of data by the public. There are several things that are still challenges for the implementation of One Data in Indonesia. One of them is the process of ratifying the Presidential Regulation on One Data Indonesia which requires coordination with various stakeholders which takes a long time. In addition, there are several policies related to statistics, which need to be adjusted to the context of data governance reform within the current government. One of them is Law No. 16 of 1997 concerning Statistics which still defines data only in the form of numbers, so that other forms of data such as spatial data are not included in it. In addition, the reluctance of many parties to integrate cross-sectoral data management within the government is also an obstacle. Where there are various types of data in each sector, but without any integration with other sectors. Finally, one of the things that hinders the implementation of this initiative according to the One Data Indonesia team is the existence of non-tax state revenue (PNPB) collected from data requests. This severely limits access to open data that should be easily and free of charge accessible to the public.

The specifications and guidelines in this Data Management Plan will improve data consistency and availability of information. It will ensure that all levels of government and the public have access to the most up-to-date information; reduce or eliminate overlapping data requests and redundant data maintenance; ensure metadata is consistently created; and ensure that data services can be displayed by the consumer with the output of its choice.

This dataset contains data collected during a study "Transparency of open data ecosystems in smart cities: Definition and assessment of the maturity of transparency in 22 smart cities" (Sustainable Cities and Society (SCS), vol.82, 103906) conducted by Martin Lnenicka (University of Pardubice), Anastasija Nikiforova (University of Tartu), Mariusz Luterek (University of Warsaw), Otmane Azeroual (German Centre for Higher Education Research and Science Studies), Dandison Ukpabi (University of Jyväskylä), Visvaldis Valtenbergs (University of Latvia), Renata Machova (University of Pardubice).

This study inspects smart cities’ data portals and assesses their compliance with transparency requirements for open (government) data by means of the expert assessment of 34 portals representing 22 smart cities, with 36 features.

It being made public both to act as supplementary data for the paper and in order for other researchers to use these data in their own work potentially contributing to the improvement of current data ecosystems and build sustainable, transparent, citizen-centered, and socially resilient open data-driven smart cities.

Purpose of the expert assessment The data in this dataset were collected in the result of the applying the developed benchmarking framework for assessing the compliance of open (government) data portals with the principles of transparency-by-design proposed by Lněnička and Nikiforova (2021)* to 34 portals that can be considered to be part of open data ecosystems in smart cities, thereby carrying out their assessment by experts in 36 features context, which allows to rank them and discuss their maturity levels and (4) based on the results of the assessment, defining the components and unique models that form the open data ecosystem in the smart city context.

Methodology Sample selection: the capitals of the Member States of the European Union and countries of the European Economic Area were selected to ensure a more coherent political and legal framework. They were mapped/cross-referenced with their rank in 5 smart city rankings: IESE Cities in Motion Index, Top 50 smart city governments (SCG), IMD smart city index (SCI), global cities index (GCI), and sustainable cities index (SCI). A purposive sampling method and systematic search for portals was then carried out to identify relevant websites for each city using two complementary techniques: browsing and searching. To evaluate the transparency maturity of data ecosystems in smart cities, we have used the transparency-by-design framework (Lněnička & Nikiforova, 2021)*. The benchmarking supposes the collection of quantitative data, which makes this task an acceptability task. A six-point Likert scale was applied for evaluating the portals. Each sub-dimension was supplied with its description to ensure the common understanding, a drop-down list to select the level at which the respondent (dis)agree, and a comment to be provided, which has not been mandatory. This formed a protocol to be fulfilled on every portal. Each sub-dimension/feature was assessed using a six-point Likert scale, where strong agreement is assessed with 6 points, while strong disagreement is represented by 1 point. Each website (portal) was evaluated by experts, where a person is considered to be an expert if a person works with open (government) data and data portals daily, i.e., it is the key part of their job, which can be public officials, researchers, and independent organizations. In other words, compliance with the expert profile according to the International Certification of Digital Literacy (ICDL) and its derivation proposed in Lněnička et al. (2021)* is expected to be met. When all individual protocols were collected, mean values and standard deviations (SD) were calculated, and if statistical contradictions/inconsistencies were found, reassessment took place to ensure individual consistency and interrater reliability among experts’ answers. *Lnenicka, M., & Nikiforova, A. (2021). Transparency-by-design: What is the role of open data portals?. Telematics and Informatics, 61, 101605 *Lněnička, M., Machova, R., Volejníková, J., Linhartová, V., Knezackova, R., & Hub, M. (2021). Enhancing transparency through open government data: the case of data portals and their features and capabilities. Online Information Review.

Test procedure (1) perform an assessment of each dimension using sub-dimensions, mapping out the achievement of each indicator (2) all sub-dimensions in one dimension are aggregated, and then the average value is calculated based on the number of sub-dimensions – the resulting average stands for a dimension value - eight values per portal (3) the average value from all dimensions are calculated and then mapped to the maturity level – this value of each portal is also used to rank the portals.

Abstract The objective of this article is to use the DGABr, an alternative metric created, in a doctoral thesis of 2018, to evaluate the Open Government Data of Brazil, to measure the open government data of other Latin American countries. The overall objective was subdivided into three specific objectives: (1) Identify the countries of Latin America that have defi ned access to information/opendata policy legislation; (2) Identify the most comprehensive legislation and criteria for assessing open government data; and (3) Analyzethe DGABr based on other legislation and propose adjustments for its use in other countries. In this sense, the legislation on access to information of Latin American countries was investigated, based on the Global Right to Information Rating ranking, which assesses legislation on access to information worldwide. The legislation of Mexico was chosen as reference for comparison with the DGABr,having reached in the ranking, the highest score in Latin America. Analyzing Mexican legislation, items to be included in the DGABr wereidentified and many similarities were already evaluated by the DGABr. It is concluded that the DGABr allows adaptations and can be used in different contexts and countries of Latin America.

This systematic review of the literatu was conducted with the PRISMA method, to explore the contexts in which the use of open government data germinates, identifying barriers to its use and identifying, the role of data literacy among those barriers to use; and the role of open data in promoting informal learning that supports the development of critical data literacy. This file includes a codebook of the main characteristics that were studied in a systematic literature review, where data from 66 articles related to Open Data Usage were identified and coded. Also, the file includes an analysis of Cohen's Kappa, a concordance statistic used to measure the level of agreement among researchers in classifying articles on the characteristics defined in the Codebook. Finally, it includes main tables of the results' analysis.

The datasets designated in this article were collected in two months between June and July 2020 by distributing self-administered questionnaire through online google form. The aim of study was to investigate the factors Influencing users' acceptance of open government data (OGD) in Indonesia.

POLICY PROPOSALS FOR OPEN AND ACCOUNTABLE GOVERNMENT

North America Government Open Data Management Platform Market size was USD XX million in 2024 and will grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.1% from 2024 to 2031. North America has emerged as a prominent participant, and its sales revenue is estimated to reach USD XX Million by 2031. This growth is majorly attributed to the region's increasing demand for Data-Driven Decision-Making.

The purpose of the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services (HHS) Data Governance Board (DGB) is to serve as the Department’s principal data governance forum and decision-making body for managing HHS’ data as a strategic asset and to support HHS in meeting its mission and agency priorities, including implementation of the Evidence Act.

The HHS DGB currently meets monthly to support these activities.
