Open government data (OGD) describes public da-ta made available online for free use, reuse, and shar-ing to improve transparency, service delivery, and participatory governance. While OGD has been ex-pected to enhance democratic engagement and econom-ic development, its actual impact has fallen short in terms of value creation. This can be primarily at-tributed to the still limited use of OGD. Against this background, we conduct a scoping literature review to identify factors that drive or hinder OGD use, thereby differentiating between three use purposes (transpar-ency/accountability, participation, and collaboration) and three types of OGD use (initial use, reuse, and deep use). Our results show that factors influencing OGD use differ considerably across use purposes and types. For example, awareness affects initial use, while high usability drives reuse. Based on our find-ings, we outline some future research directions on OGD use, which is a necessary requirement for value creation through such data.
