The Open Government Data Heart Beat of Cities

Abstract: This paper develops a unique index of “Open Government Data Heart Beat of Cities,” which consists of three theoretical archetypes that assess the commitment of cities to open government data (OGD). The three archetypes are: 1. ‘Way of Life,’ which reflects a high level commitment to OGD. 2. ‘On the Fence,’ which represents either a low commitment or erratic commitment to OGD. 3. ‘Lip Service’ which refers to either scarce or no commitment to OGD. These archetypes draw on four main dimensions: 1) Rhythm; 2) Span of Issues; 3) Disclosure; and 4) Feedback. We empirically examine this theoretical framework using longitudinal quantitative analysis on the OGD behavior of 16 different cities in the US, using a large novel corpus of municipal OGD metadata, as well as primary qualitative and secondary quantitative indicators. This methodology allows us to represent, for the first time, the evolving OGD commitment behavior—“heart beat”—of cities. Finally, we examine the impact of some socio-demographic and political factors on the OGD heartbeat of cities in order to provide the basis for further research on the topic.

Keywords: open government data, cities, municipal, transparency, disclosure, access.
