ABSTRACT
In this global open data movement, government agencies of Taiwan have dedicated efforts and resources to implement open data policy and have accumulated years of experience in opening their datasets to the public. Accordingly, this study attempts to explore the open data maturity of the government agencies and to investigate whether the agencies possess different levels of commitments and capabilities in their open data implementations. Empirical data were collected by surveys, and the survey items were developed based on an open data maturity model adopted from the literature. There were three major perspectives utilized to explore the phenomenon of interest, including the establishment and legal perspective, the technological perspective, and the citizen and data reuse perspective. The discussions of the research results are expected to provide insights to practitioners and to enrich the current open data literature.
