To build a digital government, interoperability and data exchange are essential, this is often facilitated by a specific platform - a government interoperability and data exchange platform. However, the research into such platforms, their theorization and conceptualization, structure, and core technical makeup is scant. This paper makes initial contributions to this area of research and creates knew knowledge about these government interoperability and data exchange platforms by conducting a twenty country comparative case study. This paper makes a number of important contributions: it offers a new conceptualization of these platforms; offers new insights into their structure, form, and governance; identifies critical building blocks for the future of these platforms; and highlights a number of important areas for future research.
