Abstract
This study provides an overview of the background and content of the Open Public Data Directive (OPDD), a long-term plan to implement South Korea's “open public data” policy from 2013 to 2017. The OPDD and the principles of social use are the main policy documents serving as a framework for comparing and evaluating policies on open public data of 34 government organizations in South Korea. That is, these 34 organizations have been directed to refer to the OPDD as official or authoritative guidelines for planning their own programs. To examine South Korea's open public data policy, a semantic (TRIZ) network analysis was conducted, and a preliminary descriptive analysis of the OPPD was implemented. For the OPPD, a total of 4162 keywords were identified based on the space between them. Among these, 118 were used at least 10 times (2.84%), and 49 occurred at least 20 times (1.12%). Therefore, the analysis focused on the most frequently occurring 100 keywords that further functioned as nodes in the semantic network analysis. The results for key problems and solutions expressed in the OPDD suggest that the open public data policy should explicitly incorporate the importance of a creative economy ecosystem to facilitate creative industries based on innovation and its diffusion through new types of products.
