This data collection and its companion study, PUBLIC IMAGE OF COURTS, 1977: SPECIAL PUBLICS DATA (ICPSR 7704), were undertaken to explore attitudes toward courts and justice. These surveys sought to measure perceptions of and experiences with local, state, and federal courts as well as general attitudes toward the administration of justice and legal actors. The general objectives of the studies were to (1) determine levels of public knowledge of courts, (2) test reactions to situations that might, or might not, prompt recourse to courts, (3) determine the incidence, nature, and evaluations of court experience, (4) describe and account for evaluations of court performance, (5) indicate attitudes toward legal actors, and (6) indicate reactions to alternative means of dispute resolution. Two samples were drawn: a national sample of the general public and a "special publics" sample of judges, lawyers, and community leaders (ICPSR 7704). The 1,931 respondents in the general public sample were interviewed in person by the National Consumer Field Staff of Yankelovich, Skelly, and White, Inc.

The Alternative Data Services market is experiencing robust growth, driven by the increasing need for sophisticated investment strategies and enhanced decision-making across various sectors. The market's expansion is fueled by the rising availability of non-traditional data sources, such as web data, social media sentiment, and transactional information, offering valuable insights unavailable through traditional data methods. This allows businesses to gain a competitive edge through improved risk assessment, more accurate market predictions, and more effective customer segmentation. The BFSI (Banking, Financial Services, and Insurance) sector currently holds a significant market share, leveraging alternative data for credit scoring, fraud detection, and personalized financial products. However, the IT and Telecommunications, Retail and Logistics, and Industrial sectors are showing rapid adoption, further contributing to market growth. The preference for real-time data analysis is driving the demand for advanced analytical tools and platforms. While data privacy concerns and regulatory hurdles pose some challenges, the continuous development of innovative solutions and increasing awareness of the benefits of alternative data are mitigating these restraints. We project continued growth for the next decade, driven by increased investment in data analytics and the adoption of AI-powered solutions in this sector. The market segmentation reveals significant potential for expansion across various application areas. Credit card transactions and web data analysis currently dominate the types of alternative data used, but the increasing adoption of sentiment analysis and public data for market intelligence demonstrates a shift towards a more holistic approach to data utilization. The competitive landscape is characterized by a mix of established players and emerging technology companies. Established financial data providers are integrating alternative data into their existing offerings, while specialized firms focus on niche data sources and analytical capabilities. Geographic expansion is also a key driver, with North America currently holding the largest market share but strong growth potential evident in Asia-Pacific and other emerging markets. Continued technological advancements, coupled with expanding regulatory frameworks for data usage, will shape the future trajectory of the Alternative Data Services market.

This dataset contains data collected during a study "Understanding the development of public data ecosystems: from a conceptual model to a six-generation model of the evolution of public data ecosystems" conducted by Martin Lnenicka (University of Hradec Králové, Czech Republic), Anastasija Nikiforova (University of Tartu, Estonia), Mariusz Luterek (University of Warsaw, Warsaw, Poland), Petar Milic (University of Pristina - Kosovska Mitrovica, Serbia), Daniel Rudmark (Swedish National Road and Transport Research Institute, Sweden), Sebastian Neumaier (St. Pölten University of Applied Sciences, Austria), Karlo Kević (University of Zagreb, Croatia), Anneke Zuiderwijk (Delft University of Technology, Delft, the Netherlands), Manuel Pedro Rodríguez Bolívar (University of Granada, Granada, Spain).

As there is a lack of understanding of the elements that constitute different types of value-adding public data ecosystems and how these elements form and shape the development of these ecosystems over time, which can lead to misguided efforts to develop future public data ecosystems, the aim of the study is: (1) to explore how public data ecosystems have developed over time and (2) to identify the value-adding elements and formative characteristics of public data ecosystems. Using an exploratory retrospective analysis and a deductive approach, we systematically review 148 studies published between 1994 and 2023. Based on the results, this study presents a typology of public data ecosystems and develops a conceptual model of elements and formative characteristics that contribute most to value-adding public data ecosystems, and develops a conceptual model of the evolutionary generation of public data ecosystems represented by six generations called Evolutionary Model of Public Data Ecosystems (EMPDE). Finally, three avenues for a future research agenda are proposed.

This dataset is being made public both to act as supplementary data for "Understanding the development of public data ecosystems: from a conceptual model to a six-generation model of the evolution of public data ecosystems ", Telematics and Informatics*, and its Systematic Literature Review component that informs the study.

Context

Google Patents Public Data, provided by IFI CLAIMS Patent Services, is a worldwide bibliographic and US full-text dataset of patent publications. Patent information accessibility is critical for examining new patents, informing public policy decisions, managing corporate investment in intellectual property, and promoting future scientific innovation. The growing number of available patent data sources means researchers often spend more time downloading, parsing, loading, syncing and managing local databases than conducting analysis. With these new datasets, researchers and companies can access the data they need from multiple sources in one place, thus spending more time on analysis than data preparation.

Content

The Google Patents Public Data dataset contains a collection of publicly accessible, connected database tables for empirical analysis of the international patent system.
