Article 1
CITATION Governments in the Age of Big Data and Smart Cities
SUMMARY This article discusses about the benefits that the government agencies have
obtained through the data collected from big data. The data helps local
government in improving the information’s precision, taking effective decision
and efficiency in daily operation. The article also discuss about use of open data
in the smart cities related to urban infrastructure, maps, medical data, etc. It
raises some challenges to like missing data, wrong interpretability of data, etc.
The Big data used in the smart cities are collected through crowdsourcing (Wang
& Yamazaki, 2018). Big data have been used to take decision regarding urban
planning, sustainable developments, disaster prevention and implementation of
driverless cars mostly in japan.
CRITIQUE The main goal behind the use of data is the extraction of intelligence and
knowledge from big data for implementation in decision making. This will
benefit the government to accelerate operations and overall activities of their
region.
Article 2
CITATION Big-data applications in the government sector
SUMMARY The article clearly discuss about the application of Big data in the
government sector. However, it states the use of big data in business sector
has been effective and it is expected that the government can help its citizen
to overcome the challenges which are in national level. In order to do the
same, government needs to extend their capabilities and accept new
technologies (Kim, Trimi & Chung, 2014). The application of Big data by
government are analysis of data in real time, for transparency, sustainable
development, health researches, etc. The challenges are also critical like the
data security as government is involved data collection from several
countries are done, legality issues, etc.
CRITIQUE The big data is mainly the medium that manages huge data and creates value out of
it. The aim is also to provide equal and easy access to services, transparency
between governments and opportunities.
Article 3
CITATION Transferring business intelligence and big data analysis from corporations to
governments as a hybrid leading indicator.

2BIG DATA
SUMMARY The article discusses about the use of big data and BI for changing
corporation to government. The strategies of organization and technology
have always accelerated the economic growth with high efficiency. The
technological strategy includes the process of Big Data that observes the
movements of the market and analyses the available information (Bodislav,
2015). The idea of automated governance is also introduced in this article.
To smooth running of processes the manual works are transferred to
algorithms, which eventually deliver board coverage of tasks, the orientation
will be specific, scalable, global, etc.
CRITIQUE The government has several opportunities from big data and mainly for decision
making with the possible strategies for obtaining desirable solution. The change in
government is evident with the incorporation of BI and Big data.

government with active participant in the economy.
Article 5
CITATION Big data, open government and e-government: Issues, policies and
recommendations.
SUMMARY The utilization of big data and open data are done simultaneously and it was
initiated at USA by the Obama government. In the recent years the type and

3BIG DATA
kind of government data have evolved drastically, therefore, the need to
handle them has also changes such as using certain approaches and
methodologies have been introduced. The transparency, openness,
accountability have been offered by the new government, to which the open
data and the big data are the key components (Bertot et al., 2014). The one
big challenge that have been occurred due to the emergence of big data and
open data in the government sector is the policies that are related to the use
of the government information.
CRITIQUE The use of open data and big data have been useful for a large part of the
government sector with effective initiative from government. However, the
challenges are also greater with strict policies regarding personal information of
public, security of government information, making of policies.
Article 6
CITATION Big and Open Linked Data (BOLD) in government: A challenge to transparency
and privacy?
SUMMARY The governmental information are most essential for the purpose of decision
making and policy making. The BOLD is highly useful for the
developments of government operations. The emerging technologies have
make the society safe and secure however, the threat to privacy is a great
issue to deal with. The democratic society and the government are the
symbol for providing transparency and safety to its citizens (Janssen, & van
den Hoven, 2015). It has been stated in the article that the access to the
information can be treat to the democratic society, even the Act FOI allows
information to be available to all. Not only is the information considered to
be threat but also the way to use it.
CRITIQUE It was clear from this article that BOLD can really shape the society as well as its
orientation. The need of transparency of information in the government as well as
need of privacy is equally important and threat to the overall government.
Article 7
CITATION Big Data and security policies: Towards a framework for regulating the phases of
analytics and use of Big Data.
SUMMARY This article has discussed several aspects of big data starting from perils and
promises that Big data have made in the policies of security till changing
trends, frameworks. The definition of Big data is briefly described. The

4BIG DATA
government is needed to ensure freedom, privacy, security and several other
amenities of the people with respect to their information. The large data that
are generated are mined and linked with the sophisticated methods and
programs incorporated by government officials (Broeders et al., 2017). The
future use of the Big data is also clear as the data is increasing with
substantial rate, data centric analysis, predictive data are analyzed in real-
time.
CRITIQUE The government is always concerned with betterment of its citizen by the data
obtained in large scales, the access to the vast options in the field of jurisdiction
will eventually make the government stronger at its base. The Big Data has offered
greatly not only for the security purposes but also for the prevention from critical
and harmful situations like natural hazards from its predictability technique.

technology is used for streamlining the services of the government and
generating practices of it. The benefits of it have been seen for the
prevention of disasters, improving the communication, providing rapid
response, allowing transparency. The real-time data collection capability of
Big data will accelerate the growth of economy with innovation, culturing
of data from monitoring of health (Anshari & Lim,2017). It will eventually
boost up the practices of e-government. The use of smartphones have seen it
clear the effectiveness of its practices. Another benefit of Big data that is
discussed is providing awareness among all through collective data and
information.
CRITIQUE Big data have been considered to be a very useful technique in the modern world
and helps in growing the e-government in larger extent. The users of the
smartphone have been considered to have potential in the use of Big data for the
developing sector of the economy.

Big data. It was evident from the past that data have also played vital role in
the changing economy. The large data collected are mostly for the surveys
and transformation shift which eventually benefited the economic activities.
The data generates the statistics of the economy and helps in understanding
the behavior of the economy (Einav & Levin, 2014). The outcomes of effect
of big data in the economy is complementary, analyzing the large scale of
data with variable structuring techniques.
CRITIQUE The article is quite different from the others as it has shown the actual picture of
economy with the empirical approach and effects of the Big Data and its benefits.
The landscape of the research for the economy has also changed drastically.
Article 11
CITATION Three paradoxes of big data
SUMMARY The article simply gives the insight of Big Data, that provides decisions
which are totally data driven. It is also expected that it will help in tracking,
gathering information and cure the diseases which are lethal. The use of the
Big data must be carried out with top notch security and handle with most
appropriate care as it also collects the sensitive data of all type (Richards &
King, 2013). The data are collected through sensors, mobiles, pictures,
patterns. Therefore, providing a transparency in the entire world.
CRITIQUE It has widely described the importance of the security of the data collected in the
technique of Big data with the aspects of legal, ethical and physical privacy. These
are well achieved with the continuous update of systems and applying variable
designing of the privacy policies. Big Data have been a revolution in the modern
face of technology.

The application of Big data have improves the operation of smart city such
as, in transportation, education, healthcare, water and energy services. The
effective use of the technology have been evident to reduce cost and energy
consumption of the environmental practices (Al Nuaimi et al., 2015). The
efficient use of the Big data can lead to the success of the services used in
the smart city. The common attributes of smart city are based on the big data
only.
CRITIQUE It is very much clear that smart city’s operations can be enhanced with the
incorporation of Big Data and its variable application in everyday practice. The
data collected can be used to make the devices more accurate in terms of carryout
out operations.
