Open Data Services: Research Agenda

Abstract

Open data promises an increased availability of previously private, mostly , governmental datasets for service development. However, research on the topic is only starting to surface. In this article we propose a research agenda for open data service research. We review earlier relevant literature to extrapolate open data as a phenomenon from the perspective of the information systems field. Based on a classification of research challenges, we build a research agenda, and outline a set of research questions. We contribute to the discussion on future avenues for research on open data in IS.
