공공데이터 개방의 법적 쟁점에 관한 소고

Open data improves trust and transparency of the public to the government, and improves budget reduction and efficiency in policy making through creative development of public-private cooperation services. As the provision of open public data plays an important role in the prevention of covid-19, the government's active move toward new technologies and data use has accelerated. The combination of technology development and government-led policies using big data, along with expectations for a more promising future created through innovation, also has concerns that data construction and disclosure can easily turn into a 'big brother' system. Even if the big data itself is neutral and objective, the contents of the integrated data and the results of its use will vary depending on the user of the data, the capital and network that the user has, and how and for what it is used. In order to build a stable social order and ensure citizens' interests in a rapidly changing era, it is essential to consider laws and administrative realities in addition to economic and technical analysis of public data policies. In a situation where the combination of big data and business property is promoted, even the data that presupposes anonymity should seriously precede the consideration of publicity and public interest in the collection and disclosure. It is necessary to first consider what the public interests of collection and opening are for each data according to the aspects of the tasks and administrative actions in charge of each administrative agency, and it is necessary to consider the various public interests and be cautious in opening public data. The precedent standards for the management of public data should also be improved in line with the latest technological developments.
