    Embedding open data practice: Developing indicators on the institutionalisation of open data practice in two African governments
    (2015-06) van Schalkwyk, Francois; Willmers, Michelle; Schonwetter, Tobias
    Final research report of the “Embedding open data practice: Developing indicators on the institutionalisation of open data practice in two African governments” project, which formed part of the World Wide Web Foundation’s "Emerging Impacts of Open Data in Developing Countries" Phase 2 initiative. In order to address the principle question of whether open data practice is being embedded, the project undertook a comparison of government open data in South Africa and Kenya, with a particular focus on open licensing as a key indicator of openness.
