Abstract
Open data initiatives should focus on several success factors: a solid legal foundation, a taskforce to drive initiatives, the communication of successful applications, incentives to data use, training and support, feedback mechanisms, and embedding open data in the national research agenda. These apply equally to countries around the globe, but distinct governance structures in Southeast Asia may require a unique approach. Open data has no value in itself; it only becomes valuable when people use the data. If the “ASEAN Way” of open data is to be successful, more research is necessary to investigate how governments in the region may harvest the benefits of open data within their particular developmental, institutional, and legal settings.
