Application of Machine Learning in Open Government Database

Summary

Data has become a source of economic and social value. There will be enormous growth of data in coming future as data multiplies exponentially. The staggering amount of data will only continue to grow in future. The abundance of available as well as growing data and the so‐called “big data” phenomenon have generated massive interest globally. In this paper, we focus on the value that can be realized from open government data (OGD) around the world and especially on the value‐creating mechanisms of data through Artificial Intelligence (AI) and a major subset of AI—Machine Learning (ML). First, we discussed what is OGD, in general, then OGD perspective in Indian context followed by the concept of ML, and finally how ML can be applied in order to evaluate OGD. ML algorithm is useful in understanding and interpreting open government databases.
