An overview of open government data in developed countries: A comparison study between the state of Qatar & UK

Abstract

Even though the diverse studies that have addressed OGD in many developed countries, there is still a lack in scientific literature about OGD initiatives in developing countries. The problem addressed in this paper is the lack of literature about related OGD information in two countries namely UK and Qatar. Therefore, we aim to provide information about the state of OGD in these two countries and discuss the differences in comparative analysis. This paper provides an analytical and comparative approach to discuss the state of open government data in two countries namely UK and Qatar. The results of this study showed that the state of OGD in UK is more advanced and developed than its state in Qatar according to the references reviewed and reports published by both countries.
