Big Policy Canvas Research Roadmap

excerpt from: What are the Research Challenges for the use of Big Data in Policy Making?

[...] * However, data-driven policy making stresses the importance of big data and open data sources into policy making as well as with co-creation of policy by involving citizens to increase legitimacy (Bijlsma et al 2011) and decrease citizens’ distrust in government (Davies 2017)

I think that data availability comes first

Quantity-wise, data philanthropy is arguably a new approach to get more data from numerous sources/providers.

Data relevance is even more important than data avialability i think. You can have nice (big) open data sources (e.g. Copernicus, weather data, sensor data). But policy making asks for totally different assets. That's why the Knowlededge Base of this project is extremely useful!

I trust that quality and reliability are even more important than volume and openess.

Great points by Emvol and Anthi. I firmly believe that data relevance and reliability are the most crucial factors. The data availability can increase citizen trust but I am not sure if it can benefit the policy making at all.
