摘要：There has been incredible growth in the presence and substanceof open data initiatives worldwide. Governments at all levels ofjurisdiction face increasing pressure to release public-sector datain machine-readable formats with minimal restrictions. However,the release of data, particularly government data, is not a trivialtask, and requires significant mediation to be realized. The forcesthat create, shape, and transform the open data landscape can bedefined as infomediaries—intermediaries that support the creationand sharing of digital information. Infomediaries, both humanand nonhuman, negotiate the gap between open data providersand end-users, and can take the form of service providers, portals,and platforms.
