3. Open Government Data ecosystems:
Actors, roles and relations

4. Research questions
1) What types of actors are more likely
to develop connections with other
actors in an OGD ecosystem?
2) Do actors' locations influence the
probability of developing
connections?

5. Methods
• Analyis of 35,218 tweets using the hashtags
#ASOCxxxx during 5 consecutive editions of the
ASOC program from 2015 to 2020
• 4,353 connections and 1,053 actors were
selected and classified by Type and Location
• A connection is formed between two actors when a
shared activity is documented in the selected tweets
by looking at the content of the Twitter conversation.
• ERGM Network Analysis technique is employed to
estimate the likelihood that two actors would
develop a connection
