Purpose: The purpose of this exploratory study is to provide modern local governments with potential use cases for their open data, in order to help inform related future policies and decision-making. The concrete context was that of the Vaxjo municipality located in southeastern ***/methodology/approach: The methodology was two-fold: 1) a survey of potential end users(n=151) from a local university;and, 2) analysis of survey results using a theoretical model regarding local strategies for implementing open government ***: Most datasets predicted to be useful were on: sustainability and environment;preschool and school;municipality and politics. The use context given is primarily research and development, informing policies and decision making;but also education, informing personal choices, informing citizens and creating services based on open data. Not the least, the need for educating target user groups on data literacy emerged. A tentative pattern comprising a technical perspective on open data and a social perspective on open government was identified. Research limitations: In line with available funding, the nature of the study was exploratory and implemented as an anonymous web-based survey of employees and students at the local university. Further research involving(qualitative) surveys with all stakeholders would allow for creating a more complete picture of the matter. Practical implications: The study determines potential use cases and use contexts for open government data, in order to help inform related future policies and ***/value: Modern local governments, and especially in Sweden, are faced with a challenge of how to make their data open, how to learn about which types of data will be most relevant for their end users and what will be different societal purposes. The paper contributes to knowledge that modern local governments can resort to when it comes to attitudes of local citizens to open government da

Purpose:With more and more digital collections of various information resources becoming available,also increasing is the challenge of assigning subject index terms and classes from quality knowledge organization *** the ultimate purpose is to understand the value of automatically produced Dewey Decimal Classification(DDC)classes for Swedish digital collections,the paper aims to evaluate the performance of six machine learning algorithms as well as a string-matching algorithm based on characteristics of ***/methodology/approach:State-of-the-art machine learning algorithms require at least 1,000 training examples per *** complete data set at the time of research involved 143,838 records which had to be reduced to top three hierarchical levels of DDC in order to provide sufficient training data(totaling 802 classes in the training and testing sample,out of 14,413 classes at all levels).Findings:Evaluation shows that Support Vector Machine with linear kernel outperforms other machine learning algorithms as well as the string-matching algorithm on average;the string-matching algorithm outperforms machine learning for specific classes when characteristics of DDC are most suitable for the *** embeddings combined with different types of neural networks(simple linear network,standard neural network,1 D convolutional neural network,and recurrent neural network)produced worse results than Support Vector Machine,but reach close results,with the benefit of a smaller representation *** of features in machine learning shows that using keywords or combining titles and keywords gives better results than using only titles as *** only marginally improves the *** stop-words reduced accuracy in most cases,while removing less frequent words increased it *** greatest impact is produced by the number of training examples:81.90%accuracy on the training set is achieved when at least 1,000 records per class are available
