OPEN DATA REUSE IV
improvement in the knowledge of data reuse in recent years.
In terms of the organisation itself, open data is most frequently used by stakeholders. They are frequent or regular users at 51.60 % in 2023. These figures were also high in other years: 44.40 % in 2017, 56.10 % in 2019 and 63.90 % in 2021. For other public entities, 35.50 % use them frequently or always in 2023, compared to 22.20 % in 2017, 26.80 % in 2019 and 13.90 % in 2021. The percentage of cases not answering one or more of these questions is also particularly remarkable. In 2023, the highest non-response rate is for professional non-profit re-users (58.10 %). In 2021, the same was true for non-profit professionals (41.70 %), as in 2017 (48.10 %). In 2019, the highest values are for non-profit professionals (43.90 %) and other public entities (41.50 %).
To find out the respondents’ opinion on the degree of open data reuse for each type of reuser, we asked to what extent each type of entity reused open data from its portal. Table 6 shows the results obtained. In the opinion of the portal managers, 32.30 % of citizens in 2023 frequently or always reuse open data. This figure is lower than the one obtained in the 2021 report, 38.80 %, but higher than in the other two reports: 2019 (19.60 %) and 2017 (25.90 %). In the case of professional for-profit reusers (infomediaries and individual for-profit developers), we can observe that in 2023, 25.80 % use them frequently or always, while in 2021 it was 33.30 %, 36.60 % in 2019 and 25.90 % in 2017. As for the use of open data by professional non-profit reusers (NGOs, foundations, individual non-profit developers and other social initiatives), in 2023, 29 % use it sometimes or hardly ever, although 58.10 % of respondents did not answer this question. In 2021, 13.90 % used them frequently or always, while in 2019 it was 31.70 %, and in 2017 it was 22.20 %. 38.70 % consider that researchers and academic staff (including students) use open data frequently or always. This figure is somewhat higher than in previous reports: 37 % in 2017, 34.20 % in 2019 and 25 % in 2021.
3.3.2 Analysis of data reuse by sector
When analysed by sector, in 2023 the sectors with the highest daily use over all are transport and storage (12.90 %), followed by hotels and tourism, and professional, scientific and technical activities (9.70 % in both cases). In 2021, the most frequent are information and communications (8.30 %) and other services (8.30 %) (Tables 7, 8 and 9). In 2019, the frequency of daily use in the information and communications sector was 19.50 %, 14.60 % in warehousing and transport, and 17.10 % in public administration and defence. In 2017, the transport and storage sector and the public administration and defence sector had the highest frequency of daily use (11.10 %).
