| Big Data is the most typical symbol in the new-round scientific and technical revolution and industrial transformation triggered and stimulated by Internet and information technology,whose surge also brings opportunities of digging,analyzing and trading the data itself and thus creating economic value.In the field of administration,change happens with open government data(OGD),which now is a worldwide movement.The Chinese Central Government has been releasing series of relevant policy documents in succession since 2015 and practice is underway,but the lack of legislation is pretty evident.There are roughly two modes of legislation of OGD.One is to revise the existing Information Publication legislation,one is to enact some special laws focused on OGD.This thesis holds the view that for China,to open government data is an evolvement and upgrade of the existing regime of government information publicity,both following the legal value of protecting the citizen’s right to know and building an open and transparent government.Under the situation that time is needed for the special legislation of opening government data,to revise and amend the Regulations of the People’s Republic of China on the Disclosure of Government Information to suit the needs of defining open government data and making clear the general principles is such an alternative worth considering.But open government data owns its unique features,so affiliating to the Regulation with its own objects to work on cannot surely be sustainable and is far from satisfaction.Therefore,a special legislation is required to regulate the details of opening government data,so that to ensure and improve the efficiency and effectiveness.The thesis consists of five parts:the first chapter is an introduction,whose content is mainly about the research background,literature review and the research method used.The second chapter makes a comparison of different modes of legislation about OGD and analyzes their distinctive pros and cons.The third part is the core of this thesis,which pays much attention on the challenges and problems to be considered to improve the legislation and the following part contains some macro and middle level suggestions of it.Then the last part is conclusion. |
