ABSTRACT
The article describes the issues of Open Government Data (OGD) and problems with the use of such data. Good quality and proper publishing of OGD enable (apart from the control function) their business use. This affects the economic benefits. The author has identified the main problems of data publication based on Central Repositories for Public Information (CRPI) in Poland, the USA, the UK and Germany. The article focuses on the maturity of data formats, automated processing with Application Programming Interface (API), using the concept of Linked Open Data (LOD). The aim of the article is to identify barriers to the implementation of OGD-based solutions and to indicate recommendations to overcome these barriers. The research shows that the methods of sharing OGD differ significantly between countries despite common guidelines. The main problem is the use of unstructured data, unsuitable for the use of LOD.
