Abstract

Purpose

This paper aims to further the understanding of Open Government Data (OGD) adoption by the government by invoking two quantum physics theories – percolation theory and expander graph theory.

Design/methodology/approach

Extant research on the barriers to adoption and rollout of OGD is reviewed to drive home the research question for the present study. Both the theories are summarized, and lessons are derived therefrom for answering the research question.

Findings

The percolation theory solves the riddle of why the OGD initiatives find it difficult to seep across the hierarchical and geographical levels of any administrative division. The expander graph theory builds the understanding of the need for having networking among and within the key government personnel for bolstering the motivation and capacity building of the operational personnel linked with the OGD initiative. The theoretical understanding also aids in the implementation and institutionalization of OGD in general.

Originality/value

Intersectionality of domains for conducting research on any theme is always a need. Given the fact that there are innumerable challenges regarding the adoption of OGD by the governments across the world, the application of the two theories of quantum physics might solve the quandary in a befitting way.

结合量子物理学理论理解政府采用开放式政府数据 (OGD) 的情况
本文旨在通过引用两个量子物理学理论--渗流理论和扩展图理论--来进一步了解政府采用开放式政府数据(OGD)的情况。研究结果渗透理论解开了为什么开放式治理发展计划难以跨越任何行政区划的等级和地理层级的谜题。扩展图理论使人们认识到,需要在关键政府人员之间和内部建立联系,以提高与开放式政府发展倡议相关的业务人员的积极性和能力建设。原创性/价值在对任何主题进行研究时,总是需要领域的交叉性。鉴于世界各国政府在采用 OGD 方面面临着无数挑战,应用量子物理学的两种理论可能会恰如其分地解决这一难题。
