A Study on the Public Data Activation Strategy based on App Developed by Non-Profession User

In Korea, the act for promoting use of the public data has been enforced since 2013. The Key Government 3.0 Strategy was established for providing the public data as an obligation of public authorities for users to use them free of charge. The aim of open public data and using them targeted by the government is creation of a solution for vitalizing the economy by using the public data. However, the reason for low usability and tangible outcomes despite unlimited provision of open government data is as follows. That is, it is essential to address the issue of difficult software technology required to access public data for using the data. However, with the open API method currently provided, the development procedure is not easy even for IT students or specialized software developers. Therefore, strategies for each step ideal for the level of developers are required to vitalize applications based on the public data and developed by ordinary users. Two strategic methods can be used for facilitating the use of public data and applications developed by ordinary users suggested in this paper on the basis of the public data portal organized by the Ministry of the Interior and provided to all ordinary users. That is, they are applications developed in the web browser environment and those developed in the PC environment. They allow ordinary users to develop and distribute applications based on the public data to contribute to enforcing the policy for facilitating the use of public data of the government just with basic training and basic knowledge from the training without using program coding knowledge of open API which requires the knowledge of development professionals.
