세계 각국의 정부자료 공개 투명성 평가에서 한국은 지난해 17위를 차지해 전년보다 5계단 후퇴한 것으로 나타났다. 월드와이드웹 재단은 20일(현지시간) 86개국을 대상으로 정부 자료를 비롯한 공공데이터의 개방 현황을 조사한 '2014년 오픈데이터지표'(ODB·Open Data Barometer) 보고서를 통해 이같이 밝혔다. 이번 조사에서 한국은 57.6점으로 전체 순위 17위에 올랐으며 영국이 100점으로 1위를 차지했다. 미국은 92.6점으로 2위, 스웨덴은 83.7점으로 3위에 이름을 올렸다. 이어 뉴질랜드와 프랑스가 공동 4위(80점)를 차지했고, 네덜란드(75.7점)는 6위, 노르웨이와 캐나다는 공동 7위(74.5점)에 올랐다. 일본(53.5점)은 한국보다 두 단계 낮은 19위, 스위스(51.3점)는 22위로 조사됐다. 이밖에 러시아와 중국은 각각 26위(48.2점)와 46위(28.1점)를 차지했으며, 미얀마는 0점으로 최하위에 머물렀다. 한국은 지난해보다 ODB 평가점수가 3.4점 올랐으나 세부적으로는 준비성(79점)에 비해 실행력(54점)과 영향력(48점)이 부진해 순위가 밀렸다. 월드와이드웹 재단은 많은 나라의 정부가 공공데이터 공개를 약속하지만, 이행 노력은 미흡하다고 지적했다. 재단은 보고서에서 조사대상국의 90% 이상에서 부패 방지와 정부 서비스 개선을 위해 필수적인 정보들을 공개하지 않고 있다고 주장했다. 월드와이드웹 재단 설립자인 팀 버너스-리는 "정부가 자료를 개방할수록 정부와 시민 사이의 신뢰는 높아진다"며 "완전히 개방된 정부로 가려면 1위인 영국조차도 갈 길이 멀다"고 밝혔다.

From our sample of 86 countries, representing a wide range of political, social and economic circumstances we find that: •Open data initiatives that receive both senior-level government backing and sustained resources are much more likely to achieve impact. This demonstrates that Open Government Data (OGD) initiatives, as they become established, can provide a clear return on effort and investment. •Much more needs to be done to support data-enabled democracy around the world. There has been very limited expansion of transparency and accountability impacts from OGD over the last year. Of the countries included in the Barometer, just 8% publish open data on government spending, 6% publish open data on government contracts, and a mere 3% publish open data on the ownership of companies. Citizens have a similarly difficult time accessing data on the performance of key public services — just 7% of countries release open data on the performance of health services, and 12% provide corresponding figures on education. •To maximise impact, open data needs go local. Political impacts from open data are greater in countries that have city-level open data activities. Widespread availability of data skills training is also correlated with higher political impact. •Global progress towards embedding open data policies stalled in 2014. While many countries with moderate or strong OGD initiatives in 2013 have seen steady growth in the availability and impacts of OGD, a number of countries have slipped backwards over the last 12 months. Many of the countries that made initial steps with OGD in 2012/13 have not sustained their OGD commitments and activities. Government that is “open by default” is a long way off for most of the world’s citizens. •A small number of countries are moving towards requiring proactive disclosure of government data as part of their Right to Information (RTI) laws — effectively establishing a Right to Data. This should be welcomed. However, the open data policies of most countries continue to lack legislative backing. The continued weakness of data protection laws — particularly in light of continued revelations and concerns about data mining by corporations and states — is a cause for concern. •For data to be considered truly open, it must be published in bulk, machine-readable formats, and under an open license. This year, just over 10% of the 1,290 different datasets surveyed for the Barometer met these criteria — a small but significant increase from 2013, when 7% of datasets were published in full open data format. Thirty-one countries have at least one open dataset, and just over 50% of the datasets surveyed among the 11 top-ranked countries qualified as fully open. ... http://barometer.opendataresearch.org/report/summary/ |
