Evaluation of

Vienna‘s OGD strategy

Conclusion: Benefit for

• Economy: OGD is a further resource of valuable data.

• Science and research: Additional resource for statistical analysis.

• Journalism: Potencial for „revealing“

• Developing: Experimenting with new sets of data

– On average it takes 68,6 hours per app

– Approx. 302.000,-- Euro added value for Vienna*

* 68,6 hours x 163 apps x € 80,-- developers rate = € 894.544,-- (May 2015)

Added value is not to equal to value, as in the course of bidding procedures multiple developements would not be sponsored and value would have to be proven by utilization. Furthermore would requirementsdocumentation, quality assurance and testing create additional costs.
