Abstract
The quality of Forestry Open Government Data (FOGD) is the basis for the construction of Forestry Open and Shared Service System. This paper, which is based on the quality criterion of Open Government Data (OGD) and forestry data, constructed a quality assessment framework for FOGD and adopts manual collection as well as network crawling methods to conduct the comparison research of FOGD platforms between China and the United States, showing that Chinese FOGD have quality problems in security, openness, comprehensiveness, sustainability, availability, metadata, etc. To encourage users to participate in innovation and value creation in leveraging forestry government data extensively, it is recommended that in the future, the degree of policy standards readiness and data openness should be improved; metadata standard should be established; comprehensive, accurate, consistent and standardized forestry government data should be continuously opened up.
