Abstract: To promote economic development, social progress, and scientific and technological innovation, it is necessary to strengthen scientific cooperation and information sharing. Open data has emerged in response and become a seemingly inevitable development in the evolution of digital technology. Open data, however, must be supported by infrastructure composed of physical entities and virtual systems that meet the needs of data applications in many fields. Constructing and strengthening open data infrastructure should therefore be considered important objectives of information technology development. This study analyzes the elements of open data infrastructure and expounds its significant positive role in implementing open science. Based on an analysis of the current state and substantial development of China’s open data infrastructure, this study puts forward relevant measures and suggestions in view of the shortcomings and challenges China has faced with its open data infrastructure.
