Presentation and discussions on the publication and use of open government data

Presentation and discussions on the publication and use of open government data

André Scholl presented a segment of his ongoing research to the Open Government Data (OGD) Secretariat at the Swiss Federal Statistical Office (FSO), addressing both the publication and utilization of OGD. The Secretariat plays a central role in coordinating Switzerland’s national OGD strategy and serves as a support hub for both data providers and users. The ensuing discussion proved to be intellectually stimulating and productive, fostering a meaningful dialogue between academic research and public sector practice. The research findings stem from the current study conducted by Mr. André Scholl in collaboration with Prof. Dr. Thomas Myrach, provisionally titled "Two Sides of the Same Coin: An Ontological Network of Open Government Data Publication and Usage, Derived from Differentiated Perspectives."
