Introduction
• Interaction between open data providers and users on platforms is
important in realising open data advantages stimulate interaction
by marketplaces
• Electronic marketplaces
• a place where demand and supply can be brought together
• virtual, technology-enabled trading spaces1
• can also be seen as intermediaries2

4. 4Elements for the development of an open data marketplace
Introduction
• Yet:
• few open data platforms actively stimulate interaction between
open data providers and users on marketplaces
• few researchers have paid attention to development directions
and specific elements of open data marketplaces in the near
future that are necessary for progressing in this area
• Objective: to identify elements for the development of future
electronic open government data (OGD) marketplaces

7. 7Elements for the development of an open data marketplace
Identifying elements for open data
marketplaces
1. Bring stakeholders together (match supply and
demand)
[The marketplace] “should make users aware of what's on offer and facilitate its distribution“

2. Provide rich metadata
“[…] combination of many datasets, rich metadata, some processing facilities and – specially –
associated social networking/cooperative support”

Conclusions
• Objective: identify elements for the development of an open data
marketplace
• Literature review and expert disussions: 9 elements for the development of
open data marketplaces
• Use results to:
• make better predictions for the evolution of marketplaces (awareness of
which factors may positively or negatively influence future developments
in this area)
• develop and improve open data marketplaces
• stimulate the realisation of open data advantages
