Market Future Opportunities 2024: USD 189.40 million
CAGR from 2024 to 2029 : 12.5%
Market Summary
The market witnesses significant growth due to the increasing demand for digitalization in government operations. Open data management platforms enable governments to make large volumes of data available to the public in a machine-readable format, fostering transparency and accountability. The adoption of advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) in these platforms enhances data analysis capabilities, leading to more informed decision-making. However, data privacy concerns remain a major challenge in the open data management market. Governments must ensure the protection of sensitive information while making data publicly available. A real-world business scenario illustrating the importance of open data management platforms is supply chain optimization in the public sector.
By sharing data related to procurement, logistics, and inventory management, governments can streamline their operations and improve efficiency. For instance, a city government could share real-time traffic data to optimize public transportation routes, reducing travel time and improving overall service delivery. Despite these benefits, it is crucial for governments to address data security concerns and establish robust data management policies to ensure the safe and effective use of open data platforms.

The market continues to evolve, with recent research indicating a significant increase in data reuse initiatives among government agencies. The use of open data platforms in the public sector has grown by over 25% in the last two years, driven by a need for transparency and improved data-driven decision making. This trend is particularly notable in areas such as compliance and budgeting, where accurate and accessible data is essential. Data replication strategies, data visualization libraries, and data portal design are key considerations for government agencies looking to optimize their open data management platforms.
Effective data discovery tools and metadata schema design are crucial for ensuring data silos are minimized and data usage patterns are easily understood. Data privacy regulations, such as GDPR and HIPAA, also require robust data governance frameworks and data security audits to maintain data privacy and protect against breaches. Data access logs, data consistency checks, and data quality dashboards are essential components of any open data management platform, ensuring data accuracy and reliability. Data integration services and data sharing platforms enable seamless data exchange between different agencies and departments, while data federation techniques allow for data to be accessed in its original source without the need for data replication.
Ultimately, these strategies contribute to a more efficient and effective data lifecycle, allowing government agencies to make informed decisions and deliver better services to their constituents.
Unpacking the Government Open Data Management Platform Market Landscape
The market encompasses a range of solutions designed to facilitate the efficient and secure handling of data throughout its lifecycle. According to recent studies, organizations adopting data lifecycle management practices experience a 30% reduction in data processing costs and a 25% improvement in ROI. Performance benchmarking is crucial for ensuring optimal system scalability, with leading platforms delivering up to 50% faster query response times than traditional systems. Data anonymization techniques and data modeling methods enable compliance with data protection regulations, while open data standards streamline data access and sharing. Data lineage tracking and metadata management are essential for maintaining data quality and ensuring data interoperability. API integration strategies and data transformation methods enable seamless data enrichment processes and knowledge graph implementation. Data access control, data versioning, and data security protocols

TwitterLocal Law 7 of 2016 requires agencies to “review responses to freedom of information law [FOIL] requests that include the release of data to determine if such responses consist of or include public data sets that have not yet been included on the single web portal or the inclusion” on the Open Data Portal. Additionally, each City agency shall disclose “the total number, since the last update, of such agency’s freedom of information law responses that included the release of data, the total number of such responses determined to consist of or include a public data set that had not yet been included on the single web portal and the name of such public data set, where applicable, and the total number of such responses that resulted in voluntarily disclosed information being made accessible through the single web portal.”

Contents Survey data & analysis: esrc_data-survey-analysis-data.zip Other data: esrc_data-other-data.zip Transcripts: esrc_data-transcripts.zip Data Management Plan: esrc_data-dmp.zip Survey data & analysis The survey ran from 3rd February 2022 to 6th March 2023 during which 168 responses were received. Of these responses, three were removed because they were supplied by people from outside the UK without a clear indication of involvement with the UK or associated infrastructure. A fourth response was removed as both came from the same person which leaves us with 164 responses in the data. The survey responses, Question (Q) Q1-Q16, have been decoupled from the demographic data, Q17-Q23. Questions Q24-Q28 are for follow-up and have been removed from the data. The institutions (Q17) and funding sources (Q18) have been provided in a separate file as this could be used to identify respondents. Q17, Q18 and Q19-Q23 have all been independently shuffled. The data has been made available as Comma Separated Values (CSV) with the question number as the header of each column and the encoded responses in the column below. To see what the question and the responses correspond to you will have to consult the survey-results-key.csv which decodes the question and responses accordingly. A pdf copy of the survey questions is available on GitHub. The survey data has been decoupled into: survey-results-key.csv - maps a question number and the responses to the actual question values. q1-16-survey-results.csv- the non-demographic component of the survey responses (Q1-Q16). q19-23-demographics.csv - the demographic part of the survey (Q19-Q21, Q23). q17-institutions.csv - the institution/location of the respondent (Q17). q18-funding.csv - funding sources within the last 5 years (Q18). Please note the code that has been used to do the analysis will not run with the decoupled survey data. Other data files included CleanedLocations.csv - normalised version of the institutions that the survey respondents volunteered. DTPs.csv - information on the UKRI Doctoral Training Partnerships (DTPs) scaped from the UKRI DTP contacts web page in October 2021. projectsearch-1646403729132.csv.gz - data snapshot from the UKRI Gateway to Research released on the 24th February 2022 made available under an Open Government Licence. locations.csv - latitude and longitude for the institutions in the cleaned locations. subjects.csv - research classifications for the ESRC projects for the 24th February data snapshot. topics.csv - topic classification for the ESRC projects for the 24th February data snapshot.

TwitterFree use and redistribution of data (i.e., Open Data) increases the reproducibility, transparency, and pace of aquatic sciences research. However, barriers to both data users and data providers may limit the adoption of Open Data practices. Here, we describe common Open Data challenges faced by data users and data providers within the aquatic sciences community (i.e., oceanography, limnology, hydrology, and others). These challenges were synthesized from literature, authors’ experiences, and a broad survey of 174 data users and data providers across academia, government agencies, industry, and other sectors. Through this work, we identified seven main challenges: 1) metadata shortcomings, 2) variable data quality and reusability, 3) open data inaccessibility, 4) lack of standardization, 5) authorship and acknowledgement issues 6) lack of funding, and 7) unequal barriers around the globe. Our key recommendation is to improve resources to advance Open Data practices. This includes dedicated funds for capacity building, hiring and maintaining of skilled personnel, and robust digital infrastructures for preparation, storage, and long-term maintenance of Open Data. Further, to incentivize data sharing we reinforce the need for standardized best practices to handle data acknowledgement and citations for both data users and data providers. We also highlight and discuss regional disparities in resources and research practices within a global perspective.
