Background
Around 2010, advanced countries including the US and EU recognized the high social and economic value of public information, and competitively promoted the Government 2.0 movement and various policies of opening, sharing, participation, and utilization. In 2010, when the concept of Government 2.0 was still unfamiliar to the majority of the citizens, by proposing Open City Administration 2.0 of ‘Communication, Cooperation, and Participation’, the Seoul Metropolitan Government has established a framework for the provision of administrative information through the Seoul Information and Communication Plaza and free citizen participation in policies.
