The study aimed to identify the satisfaction with open data
platforms in Saudi public universities, analyze them according to codified standards,
and compare them to find out the extent of open data activation and the similarities and
differences between universities, while contributing to their development and providing
a model for the best open data platform among Saudi public universities.
The study has found several results, the most
important of which are:
- The availability of open data through Saudi public universities contributes to
introducing open data, supporting scientific research, enhancing participation,
increasing transparency, creating awareness, and raising the level of knowledge.
-
Most Saudi public universities have made open data
platforms available.
-
Most of the open data platforms in Saudi public
universities achieve a lower than average rate in the availability of open data
evaluation criteria on their platforms.
