The open government (OG) concept is commonly based on a general liberal and deliberative ideology emphasising transparency, access, participation and collaboration, but were also innovation and accountability are promoted. In this paper, we outline a terminology and suggest a method for how to investigate the concept more systematically in different policy documents, with a special emphasis on post-soviet countries. The result shows that the main focus in this regions OG policy documents is on freedom of information and accountability, and to a lesser extent on collaboration, while other aspects, such as diversity and innovation, are more rarely mentioned, if at all. date: 2016 date_type: published publisher: Inderscience id_number: doi:10.1504/IJEG.2016.10002287 creators_browse_id: 79 full_text_status: public publication: International Journal of Electronic Governance volume: 8 number: 3 pagerange: 256-272 refereed: TRUE issn: 1742-7509 coversheets_dirty: FALSE fp7_project: no fp7_type: info:eu-repo/semantics/article citation: Lindgren, T., Ekenberg, L.
