About this book
Governments have committed to open data at a time when the digital economy is transforming the value of data. Technology also expands the nature and volume of data collected by governments, altering the significance of open government data and rendering its practice more complex. In this evolving context, this book explores the future of open data.
This book is addressed to a mixed audience that includes academics, public policymakers, and civil society actors. It could be used in courses related to Public Policy, Government Information, Open Data, and Law and Technology.

Reviews
“[…] Robinson and Scassa say that this book critically unpacks the (all too-common) hype surrounding open data. Instead of viewing open data as an unproblematic panacea to address problems of corporate power, innovation gaps, and lagging government services, the book critically lays out the assumptions underlying open data, such as assumed data quality and accessibility, data security and equitable access.”
