Contribution
It introduces four types of data feedback loops and emphasizes the roles of publishers and re-users in maintaining data quality.
Findings
Successful establishment of feedback loops in Scandinavian transportation agencies
Identification of four distinct types of data feedback loops
Highlighting the critical roles of publishers and re-users
Abstract
Public agencies are increasingly publishing open data to increase transparency and fuel data-driven innovation. For these organizations, maintaining sufficient data quality is key to continuous re-use but also heavily dependent on feedback loops being initiated between data publishers and users. This paper reports from a longitudinal engagement with Scandinavian transportation agencies, where such feedback loops have been successfully established. Based on these experiences, we propose four distinct types of data feedback loops in which both data publishers and re-users play critical roles.
