subject. It adopts quantitative and qualitative methods to conduct a comparative study on the development
status of Chinese and American city open government data portals from eleven perspectives based on data
and portal level. It concludes by suggesting that city open government data portals should reinforce the
management of open data, especially open data about citizens and society; that multiple open data forms
should be provided and uniform metadata standard promulgated; that user experience should be improved
and related laws enacted to ensure user rights; that we should use social media and deploy different kinds
of user interfaces; that we should establish new media platforms and organize various activities about open
data.
