Besides the implications for practice, the classification schemes also have implications for research. This research paper proposes a descriptive model in form of classification schemes for the implementation and operation of OGD portals. Within this research paper, we offer a first attempt of an integrative definition of OGD portal. In addition, this research paper relies on the creative method of morphological boxes and as a result presents a first approach to the design of OGD portals. The various OGD aspects discussed within this paper provide a wide range of avenues for future research. For example, the identified elements prepare ground to seek for the success factors of OGD portals.
5. Conclusion
The objective of this research paper was the systematization of the implementation and operation of OGD portals. Therefore, we identified the important milestones and tasks, which need to be considered when starting an OGD portal. Throughout our research endeavor we realized that only few research articles exist on the topic of OGD portals. As a consequence, we conducted multiple case studies in which we analyze concrete examples of OGD portals. The case study analysis proved to be a good support for determining the number of instances. However, future research is needed for further in‐depth analysis of the schemes’ s components.
