Purpose

The purpose of this paper was to draw on evidence from computer-mediated transparency and examine the argument that open government data and national data infrastructures represented by open data portals can help in enhancing transparency by providing various relevant features and capabilities for stakeholders' interactions.

Design/methodology/approach

The developed methodology consisted of a two-step strategy to investigate research questions. First, a web content analysis was conducted to identify the most common features and capabilities provided by existing national open data portals. The second step involved performing the Delphi process by surveying domain experts to measure the diversity of their opinions on this topic.

Findings

Identified features and capabilities were classified into categories and ranked according to their importance. By formalizing these feature-related transparency mechanisms through which stakeholders work with data sets we provided recommendations on how to incorporate them into designing and developing open data portals.

Social implications

The creation of appropriate open data portals aims to fulfil the principles of open government and enables stakeholders to effectively engage in the policy and decision-making processes.

Originality/value

By analyzing existing national open data portals and validating the feature-related transparency mechanisms, this paper fills this gap in existing literature on designing and developing open data portals for transparency efforts.

通过开放政府数据提高透明度：以数据门户及其特性和功能为例

目的

本文的目的是利用计算机中介透明度的证据，并检验开放政府数据和以开放数据门户为代表的国家数据基础设施可以通过为利益相关者的互动提供各种相关特征和能力来帮助提高透明度的论点。

设计/方法/方法

开发的方法包括两步策略来调查研究问题。首先，进行了网络内容分析，以确定现有国家开放数据门户提供的最常见的特征和功能。第二步涉及通过调查领域专家来衡量他们对这个主题的意见的多样性来执行 Delphi 过程。

发现

识别出的特征和能力被分类并根据它们的重要性进行排名。通过将这些与功能相关的透明度机制正式化，利益相关者可以通过这些机制处理数据集，我们就如何将它们纳入设计和开发开放数据门户提供了建议。

社会影响

创建适当的开放数据门户旨在实现开放政府的原则，并使利益相关者能够有效地参与政策和决策过程。

原创性/价值

通过分析现有的国家开放数据门户并验证与功能相关的透明度机制，本文填补了现有文献中关于设计和开发开放数据门户以提高透明度的空白。
