Abstract
In analyzing theoretically open data as, first of all, part of an emerging political concept, especially from the perspectives of its main actors, namely policymakers, practitioners and technology-savvy enthusiasts, that is, those who are usually expected to promote the public agendas of open data governance, it is necessary to mention, firstly, the three classic domains of related political communication channels, which are presumably generated in related digital government transactions such as public or government, civic and business-centric perspectives, and then three non-standard dimensions such as those that could exist from the perspectives of, respectively, independent developers, media communities and non-governmental institutions (e.g. public activists, think tanks, academia and philanthropic organizations).
