[open-government] Seeking advice on China's open data policy

Thu Apr 17 19:14:32 UTC 2014

Dear Feng,

I would suggest the Open Readiness Assessment Tool from the World Bank
which offers a good framework
http://data.worldbank.org/about/open-government-data-toolkit/readiness-assessment-tool

You can also have a look to the work done by the Web Foundation which uses
the same kind of methodology
http://webfoundation.org/2013/06/new-research-open-data-in-indonesia/

As for evaluation of impact and performance, you can have a look to the
Open Data Barometer

Regards
Pierre
