Abstract: Under the background of government open data development and utilization, the promotion of
value co-creation of government open data is bound to be influenced by many factors. Only by systematic
identification and analysis of these factors we can guarantee that strategies be designed from different levels
to ensure the smooth development of value co-creation of government’s open data. The author obtained
the original data through in-depth interviews, applied the grounded theory to open coding, spindled coding
and selective coding, formed concepts and categories, and built the model of influencing factors for value
co-creation of government’s open data. Cognitive factors, demand factors, motivation factors, technical
factors, resource factors and political and economic factors are the influencing factors for the co-creation
of government’s open data value. Among them, cognitive factors, demand factors and motivation factors
are internal factors for value co-creation of government open data, which affect the willingness of different
stakeholders to participate in value co-creation. Technical factors, resource factors and political and economic
factors are external factors for the value co-creation of government’s open data, which affect the actual actions
of the value co-creation of government open data. The willingness of value co-creation influences the actual
action and ultimately the government’s implementation of open data value co-creation.
