Abstract

New software businesses are extending the software industry via private enterprises that build new and innovative services on top of Open Data (OD) sets released by government and public bodies. What are the tenable value propositions and income-generating mechanisms for these private enterprises and what are the new opportunities for service development? This paper combines conceptual and empirical investigations of OD definition to clarify the benefits open data sets hold for service development.
