A New Model Proposal for Open Government Data Practices

Abstract

Government institutions hold vast amounts of data, mostly produced through public services, and that has grown. Although these data sets have no sensitive content, usually they are not accessible and can not be benefitted. Even though data sets exist in different types and formats, developments at information technologies make it easy linking and sharing these data sets with other data. The data-driven economy is the new global approach and many countries gave start to some new open data policy approaches aim to make government data and information machine-readable. It became a new default to gain the maximum benefit from the data they have. Opening government data will also help to increase accountability, public service quality to decrease operational cost and to encourage open innovation at public and private organizations. This article aims to assert an illustration for open government data which has different definitions at many sources, to examine open government data within the scope of structure, value, potential risks, economic field, standards, open license, measurement, tools and to offer a model for the open government ecosystem.

Açık Devlet Verisi Süreçlerine Dair Bir Model Önerisi

Öz

Kamu kurumları sundukları hizmetler sonucunda oldukça büyük miktarda veri barındırmaktadır ve barındırmayı da sürdürecektir. Birçok veri seti hassas içerik barındırmamasına rağmen genellikle erişime açık olmamakta ve bu veri setlerinden fayda sağlanamamaktadır. Her ne kadar farklı formatta ve başlıkta veri setleri söz konusu olsa da, bilgi teknolojilerindeki gelişmeler bu veri setlerinin diğer verilerle bağlanmasını ve paylaşımını oldukça kolay bir hale getirmektedir. Dünyada ekonominin veri odaklı olmasının da etkisiyle son yıllarda birçok ülke ellerindeki veriden en üst seviyede yararlanabilmek için veri ve bilgileri bilgisayarca okunabilir formatta belirli bir kullanım koşuluyla paylaşarak açık devlet verisi süreçlerini uygulamaya sokmuştur. Kamu verisinin açılması aynı zamanda hesap verilebilirliği artıracak, daha kaliteli ve yeni hizmetlere olanak sağlayacak, operasyon maliyetini düşürecek, kamu ve özel sektörde açık inovasyonu teşvik edecektir. Bu çalışmada amaç; birçok kaynakta farklı tanımlarla ifade edilen açık devlet verisine yönelik kapsayıcı bir tanım ortaya koymak, açık devlet verisini yapısal özellik, gelişim ve ihtiyaç sebebi, riskler ve potansiyel engeller, ekonomik boyut, standartlar, açık lisans, ölçümleme, araçlar başlıklarını içeren bir çerçeve üzerinde ele almak ve kamu verisini açmaya yönelik bir model ortaya koymaktır.
