Zusammenfassung:
Aware of growing urban challenges and the unexploited potential of business data to serve as an infrastructure for smart city projects, the association Smart Regio Basel intends to support the incorporation of private organisations in Basel’s open data platform. Current evidence underlines the predominant role of governments in open data platforms, while only few literature is available on the inclusion of businesses in such initiatives. Thus, the aim of this thesis is to provide a framework that may be used to establish projects dealing with the integration of the private sector in an open data ecosystem for smart city applications. The objective was approached in three steps. Firstly, a literature review was carried out in order to establish the conceptual framework that demonstrates the relationship between open data and smart city. Next, by conducting semi-structured interviews with private organisations and experts, primary qualitative data were collected and evaluated to validate the conceptualisation and to determine incentives as well as barriers for the participation in an open data ecosystem. Finally, the combined findings were translated into a master synthesis. The results suggest an interplay of open data and smart city through an intermediary instrument. The model acknowledges the government, citizens, scientific institutions, and companies as the relevant actors for an open data ecosystem, which is exposed to opportunities and threats that are assigned to the technological, legal, social, and economic dimensions of influence. Essentially, for the private sector, the barriers outweigh the incentives for providing business data to an open data platform. Hence, the provision of use cases was identified as a mean to stimulate companies since the integration of the private sector is most likely to be achieved by reducing barriers and reinforcing incentives.
