Outline 1. The business need The LOGD ecosystem 2. The methodology Detailed analysis of case studies using the Business Model Canvas TM 3. Our main findings administrations? What does it cost to provide LOGD services? Who pays for the provisioning of LOGD? What are enablers and barriers with regard to the value creation of LOGD? What value does LOGD bring to businesses, citizens, and public 3

The methodology the case studies 32 AT: Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Partnership; DE: German National Library; EU: Europeana; EU: European Commission Directorate-General Health and Consumers; EU: European Environment Agency; EU: Publications Office of the European Union; IT: Agenzia per l'Italia Digitale; UK: BBC; UK: Companies House; UK: Department of Environment, Food and Rural Affairs; UK: National Archives; UK: OpenCorporates; UK: Ordnance Survey; Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations. Identified LOGD pilots 11 Cases selected & interviewed 6
Our findings value proposition integration and enables the interconnection of previously disparate government datasets. Increase in data quality: The increased (re)use of LOGD triggers a growing demand to improve data quality. Through crowd-sourcing and self-service mechanisms, errors are progressively corrected. New services: The availability of LOGD gives rise to new services offered by the public and/or private sector. Cost reduction: The reuse of LOGD in e-Government applications leads to considerable cost reductions. Flexible data integration: LOGD facilitates data 7
Our findings key resources persistence is not often made explicit. Many organisations cite a lack of tools that meet their specific need in their specific context. Skill and competencies are mostly acquired in-house with some help from external consultants. LOGD is applied most successfully in reference data. URI design policies are generally in place, while The European Environment Agency has a URI policy based on Cool URIs. 8
Our findings key partners & customer segments networks of government and non-government organisations. There is little use of LOGD outside of those networks or by businesses. Most providers apply LOGD in the context of existing peer The key partners of the UK National Archives are the UK Parliament and the Publications Office of the EU. The most prevalent use in the case of the UK National Archives is internal reuse. 9
Our findings key activities & customer relationships LOGD services as part of their normal system maintenance and operational activities. Only few invest in promotional activities, such as branding or advertisement of LOGD services. There is little user support. Feedback is typically through informal communications as part of institutional collaborations. Providers consider the development and maintenance of The German National Library is reaching out to reusers of its Linked Data via presentations, its web page, articles in journals, participation in book fairs, and library- and information-related fairs. 10
Our findings channels SPARQL endpoints. Bulk downloads are almost always offered. Proprietary apps and Web applications are less common. Distribution channels include direct URI resolution and The experimental SPARQL endpoint of Europeana is availabe at: http://europeana.ontotext.com/ The SPARQL endpoint of EU Open Data portal, managed by the Publications Office, is available at: https://open- data.europa.eu/en/linked-data 11
Our findings cost structure Many providers consider LOGD activities as part of their core business; No separate cost structure of the LOGD activities is available. In case figures in terms of finances or staff resources were mentioned in the case studies, these spanned a wide range depending on the approach taken. It took the UK companies House about 2 person-months to develop its Linked Data service, while the Linked Data infrastructure of the FAO costed approximately EUR 100k. 12
Our findings revenue streams of the normal budgets. The data is provided free of charge. Licences are either open or not explicitly defined. The predominant revenue model is public funding, as part Linked Data provided by the UK Companies House are available under the UK Open Government Licence. Linked Data provided by the BBC are available for non- commercial use only. 13
Conclusions LOGD enablers Efficiency gains in data integration the network effect. Forward-looking strategies. Increased linking and integrated services. Ease of model updates. Ease of navigation. Open licensing and free access. Enthusiasm from champions . Emerging best practice guidance. 14
Conclusions LOGD roadblocks Necessary investments. Lack of necessary competencies. Perceived lack of tools. Lack of service level guarantees. Missing, restrictive, or incompatible licences. Surfeit of standard vocabularies. The inertia of the status quo. 15
Conclusions LOGD outlook important in the provision and management of reference data. It is used to increase efficiency of internal data integration, or to support data exchange in existing collaborations. Providers will have to develop a clear view of their customers, as value lies in reuse. LOGD is becoming increasingly adopted, particularly 16
