What the paper says

Open Government Data (OGD) has become a key driver of transparency, innovation, and sustainable development. By making public sector information accessible, OGD fosters economic growth, improves public services, and strengthens democratic governance. This paper explores the role of OGD in promoting innovation and advancing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly in urban planning, environmental protection, and public health. It also examines challenges in data accessibility, interoperability, and usability, highlighting the need for standardized formats and open APIs. A case study of the JakDojade transport planning application demonstrates how OGD can enhance smart mobility, reduce environmental impact, and create business opportunities. However, limitations in data availability and licensing practices hinder full utilization. This paper calls for improved data-sharing policies and IT infrastructure to maximize the societal benefits of open data.
