Vienna has adopted an open data policy for several reasons: 1) To improve transparency and citizen participation in government. 2) As an extension of its existing e-government services for the benefit of citizens. 3) To provide added value for local businesses by making more government data openly available. 4) Open data is seen as part of Vienna's commitment to open government.
