Quantitative Evaluation of Big Data Development Policy: Text Data Analysis Based on Coword Network and Policy Tools

Abstract

In the context of the continuous promotion of China’s big data development strategy, this paper quantitively analyses China’s existing national-level big data policies from the perspective of policy instruments and coword networks, discusses the rationality of existing policies, explores ways to improve policies, and provides a reference for the innovation of China’s big data policies. This paper carries out a quantitative textual analysis of China’s national big data policy from the perspective of policy instruments using word frequency analysis to obtain a keyword coword matrix and visualization analysis tools to obtain a coword network. This paper further studies the network node characteristics and structure using social network analysis methods, including degree centrality, clustering analysis, and multidimensional scale analysis, to identify the policy structure and characteristics. Improving big data policy requires improvements in policy instruments on the supply side, resolving existing policy gaps, and strengthening coordination with other policies.
