Abstract: In the era of big data, the opening of government data has become an inevitable trend. During the process of opening government data in China, influenced by traditional administrative management thinking and restricted by the current relevant legal system, there are still problems such as the absence of relevant legislation for the opening of government data, the lack of a unified licensing system, and the imperfect mechanism for the integration of government and enterprises. These issues have led to the fact that the actual effect of the current opening of government data has not reached the expected results. Under such circumstances, the author intends to explore the practical difficulties in the utilization of government data opening and propose a legal guarantee path, with the aim of promoting the construction of the rule of law for government data opening in China, guiding data opening practices, and promoting economic development and social progress.
