Abstract

Open Government Data (OGD) is the publication of data by government and public institutions on the Internet. Interestingly, after more than a decade of implementing OGD there are different practices from countries in the world, even though they have the same aims. This difference is due to differences in the culture of openness, the level of openness, and the level of state confidence in opening data. This research is a qualitative research with a constructivist approach through descriptive analysis with comparisons of several countries. Based on the results of the analysis and discussion, it can be concluded that the implementation of OGD is carried out in many countries as part of efforts to fulfill data openness in the information age. Data structuring is made with a scheme that allows the government to choose which data can be published and which cannot. The roadmap for OGD activities is gradually becoming more comprehensive. Clarity of objectives is needed to create a roadmap that is effective in implementing OGD. The security of personal data is an important thing that must be guaranteed by the government. The strategy to build OGD must be carried out in one entity that is authorized to manage data.
