政府資訊之加值利用有其重要性,蓋其有助於數位內容產業及相關數位科技應用服務之發展。本文針對美國和英國之政府資訊加值利用法制進行比較性研究。本文發現二者對於政府資訊之定位的不同致其規範架構與途逕有所不同,但是,二者鼓勵民間私部門加值利用政府資訊的態度是一致的。本文亦檢視我國政府資訊加值利用法制,發現我國與此相關之法制並不完善。因此,於未來宜針對相關議題爲更進一步的討論與研究。此外,建議宜有專責單位負責政府資訊加值利用之政策與事項的制定與推動。再者,宜鼓勵政府機關於預算可因應範圍內,極力電子化政府資訊,以便利民間私部門加值利用政府資訊。最後,建議採取逐步漸進之作法建置政府資訊共通平台,以便利民眾申請取得政府資訊,以爲加值利用。
The reuse of government information is of vital importance because it is helpful to the development of digital content industry and applications of digital technologies. This article has a comparative study on legal frameworks of the reuse of government information in UK and USA. And, it is found that the attitude towards government information leads to the differences of their legal frameworks but the ambition to promote the private sector to reuse the government information is the same. This article also reviews the legal framework of the reuse of government information in Taiwan. And, it is found that regulations on the reuse of government information are not well developed. Therefore, it is recommended the concerned legal issues shall be reviewed and discussed further. Otherwise, this article suggests that there shall be a proper department in public sector to deal with the legal policy and promotion of the reuse of government information. Second, subject to the constraint of budget the concerned authorities shall digitalize government information they hold as possible as they can Finally, to help the business get government information and the government’s permit on its reuse, the concerned authority shall try to build a database and an on line licensing system step by step.
