In recent years, more and more government administrations around the world are participating in open data policy implementation. Government officials who are charged with implementing this new policy usually need to look for related information for deciding what datasets to open to the public. Accordingly, a research gap exists in understanding government officials' information behaviors in implementing open data policy. By using a qualitative approach to conduct semi-structured interviews with government officials who have extensive experience in implementing open data policy, this study explores government officials' information behaviors in searching and selecting datasets for open data publication. Specifically, this research investigates government officials' information needs, the employed information sources, and the intervening variables that influence their information behaviors. While open data is an ongoing policy implementation, government officials' information behaviors form an iterative cycle where information needs continually occur, information seeking activities are conducted by using a variety of information sources, and the obtained information is used to satisfy information needs. The findings and discussions of this study are expected to provide insights of government officials' data search and selection to practitioners and to enrich the current literature of open government data.

近年来，全球越来越多的政府主管部门正在参与开放数据政策的实施。负责实施这项新政策的政府官员通常需要查找相关信息，以决定向公众开放哪些数据集。因此，在理解政府官员在实施开放数据政策时的信息行为方面存在研究空白。通过使用定性方法对在实施开放数据政策方面具有丰富经验的政府官员进行半结构化采访，本研究探讨了政府官员在搜索和选择数据集以进行开放数据发布中的信息行为。具体来说，这项研究调查了政府官员的信息需求，所雇用的信息来源，以及影响其信息行为的中间变量。尽管开放数据是一项持续的政策实施，但政府官员的信息行为形成了一个反复循环，不断发生信息需求，使用各种信息源进行信息搜索活动，并将获得的信息用于满足信息需求。预期该研究的结果和讨论将为从业人员提供政府官员数据搜索和选择的见识，并丰富当前公开政府数据的文献。通过使用各种信息源来进行信息搜索活动，并且所获得的信息用于满足信息需求。预期该研究的结果和讨论将为从业人员提供政府官员数据搜索和选择的见识，并丰富当前公开政府数据的文献。通过使用各种信息源进行信息搜索活动，并将获得的信息用于满足信息需求。预期该研究的结果和讨论将为从业人员提供政府官员数据搜索和选择的见识，并丰富当前公开政府数据的文献。
