Over the last few years, governments worldwide have started to develop and implement open data initiatives to enable the release of government data in open and reusable formats without restriction or charge for their use by society. As a result, a large number of open data repositories, catalogues and portals have been emerging in the world. The efficient development of open data portals makes it necessary to evaluate their quality systematic, in order to understand them better and assess the various types of value they generate. Citizens also expect data disclosed by official authorities to have quality in the sense that they are official data and therefore should be accurate and reliable. Consequently, the aim of this paper is to examine and compare the quality of these portals. For this purpose, a benchmarking framework is proposed and validated to evaluate the quality of open data portals on the national level. The results obtained show that the number of datasets online and the sophistication of open data portals and their functions differ, reflecting the lack of harmonization and the need for quality standards. In particular, the United Kingdom, India and the United States have published many datasets and launched advanced portals.Během několika posledních let vlády po celém světě začaly vyvíjet a implementovat iniciativy pro otevřená data, které umožňují zveřejňování dat o vládnutí v otevřených a znovupoužitelných formátech bez omezení nebo platby za jejich použití společností. V důsledku toho se začalo po celém světě objevovat velké množství úložišť, katalogů a portálů pro otevřená data. Efektivní rozvoj portálů pro otevřená data vyžaduje systematické hodnocení jejich kvality tak, aby bylo možné lépe porozumět a ohodnotit různé typy hodnot, které vytvářejí. Občané zároveň očekávají, že údaje zveřejněné příslušnými úřady mají kvalitu v tom smyslu, že se jedná o oficiální data, a proto by měla být přesná a spolehlivá. Cílem tohoto článku je prozkoumat a porovnat kvalitu těchto portálů. Za tímto účelem je navržen a ověřen srovnávací rámec, který slouží k hodnocení kvality portálů pro otevřená data na národní úrovni. Získané výsledky ukazují, že počet dostupných datových sad a sofistikovanost portálů a jejich funkcí se liší, v čemž se odráží nedostatečná harmonizace a potřeba pro standardy kvality. Především Spojené království, Indie a Spojené státy publikovaly nejvíce datových sad a provozují nejpokročilejší portály

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to conduct a usability evaluation of governmental data portals and provide a list of best practices for improving stakeholders’ ability to discover, access, and reuse of these online information sources.Design/methodology/approach: The developed methodology was based on the comprehensive literature review that resulted in a benchmarking framework of the most important criteria. A usability testing method was then applied with accordance to unique requirements of open data portals. This approach was demonstrated by using of a case study.Findings: The main found weakness was a lack of support for active engagement of stakeholders. The list of best practices was introduced to improve the quality of these portals. This should help to improve the discoverability and facilitate the access to data sets in order to increase their reuse by stakeholders.Social implications: The creation of appropriate open data portals aims to fulfill the principles of open government, i.e., to promote transparency and openness through the publication of government data, enhance the accountability of public officials and encourage public participation, collaboration, and cooperation of involved stakeholders.Originality/value: This paper proposed a new approach for the usability evaluation of open data portals on national level from an ordinary citizen’s point of view and provided important insights on improving their quality regarding data discoverability, accessibility, and reusability.
