Business Models for PSI Re-Use: A Multidimensional Framework

Business Models for PSI Re-Use: A Multidimensional Framework

In recent years the Open Data philosophy has gained a considerable momentum. In the public realm the free release of PSI datasets, besides enabling new and promising forms of governmental accountability, paves the way to third-party developed products and services. Nevertheless, PSI re-use performed by private sector entrepreneurs is striving to take-off due to the presence of numerous inherent roadblocks which are coupled with a certain vagueness surrounding the rationale underlying business endeavors. Taking stock of this evidence, the paper aspires to shed light on the mechanisms allowing profit-oriented value creation based on public datasets.In order to delve into PSI-based business models, the paper proposes a conceptual framework meant to pinpoint prominent levers that a business developer has at his/her fingertips for crafting the overarching architecture of a business venture hinged on public data re-use.
