Summary:

"Today we launched the fourth edition of the Open Data Barometer, a global snapshot of how governments are using open data for accountability, innovation and social impact.

Covering 115 countries, the study found that early open data leaders are stalling, and even backsliding in their delivery of open data. The scores of high-ranking Nordic countries and the United States have fallen this year, and even the UK, a traditional open data leader, has seen worrying changes in key policies. Globally, fewer than one in 10 datasets studied are fully open — unchanged from last year — showing that most countries are failing to make any progress on delivering vital public information."
