Abstract

Open data is a vital part of new digital economy. It facilitates value creation from combining data from multiple sources. It also important to utilize a massive data flow from emerging IoT (Internet of Things) devices. Future smart cities will consist of a large aggregation of open data APIs. The size and variety of open data APIs provide challenges for usability, consistency, and integrity. The author analyzes issues in open data APIs in the Tokyo public transportation. The author discusses multiple aspects of issues. Then, the author presents a framework with three view models to deal with open data APIs: outcome, cause, and fixes. Finally, the author discusses lessons learned in the Tokyo public transportation open data APIs.
