A State-of-the-Art Analysis of the Current Public Data Landscape from a Functional, Semantic and Technical Perspective

Open Government Data initiatives and particularly Open Government Data portals have proliferated since the late 2000’s. A comprehensive analysis of the capabilities and potential of these initiatives is currently missing from the recent research literature. In order to address this gap, th...
