N2 - Open government data (OGD) promises to yield many benefits for society, such as the development of innovative products and services. Investments have been made to increase the publishing of OGD and its usage by the general public. However, the use of OGD remains low in practice, as potential OGD users can lack awareness, skills and resources to exploit this data. Current attempts to remedy this issue (e.g. hackathons) attract only a small subgroup of the citizenry, that is, digital literates with knowledge in programming, and therefore outputs digital solutions. In this paper, we present a tentative methodology aiming at involving a larger part of the citizenry in ideation with OGD to find applications relevant to citizens' everyday lives.
