Abstract
As The Fourth Industrial Revolution and Intelligent Information Age came into full-scale, the policy of open government data has become a hot topic for each country. The United States, the United Kingdom, and other countries are shifting policy direction to "creating value" of open government data. Also, in the age of the digital economy where the data market is soaring, open government data is gradually being recognized as a new raw material for new business and start-ups. In addition, Korea ranked first in the OECD open government data evaluation twice in a row, and was highly evaluated in the international evaluation. However, domestic firms are still lacking in qualitative openness of government data, data is dispersed among institutions, lack of public-private data linkage, and development of app-oriented development. This study attempts to analyze major national policies for the creation of a data ecosystem that considers data lifecycle, from production to storage, distribution and utilization of data. First, the target countries were the leading public data countries among the OGP member countries, the USA, the UK, Australia and Canada. The results of this study are as follows. As a result of analyzing the results and comparing Korea's policies, it was concluded that most of Korea is superior in open government data policy. However, improvement of data quality, development of open data portal as an open platform, support for finding various users including apps and web development companies, and cultivation of open government data utilizing personnel are analyzed as policy issues. In addition, the direction of policy for the balanced ecosystem of Korea is presented together.
