Effective Digital Information Management in Public Authorities
The status of information management in public authorities is explored through two studies conducted by Gran Samuelsson at Mittuniversitetet. The increasing volume of digital information underscores the importance of organizing information efficiently from the early stages. The studies aim to understand the challenges faced by public authorities and define key research areas in digital information management.

Effective digital information management ? The status of information management in a number of public authorities via two studies G ran Samuelsson Mittuniversitetet
Gran Samuelsson, Ph.D History, Archives and Information Science at Mid Sweden University since October 2004 Previously worked 10 years at National Land Survey of Sweden as an archive- strategist, archive-coordinator and also as a product manager for historical maps and archives 3 years at the Military Archive of Sweden - Map department Member of Swedish ISO/SIS Member of Euro SDR /Archive Certified business architect Mittuniversitetet
Background Increasing volume of digital information is used more frequently and over longer periods of time http://chucksblog.emc.com/chucks_blog/2011/06/2011-idc-digital-universe-study-big-data-is-here-now-what.html Mittuniversitetet
The only thing we can say about the future, is that there is an increasing amount of information that will be used for longer by a growing numbers of people.
Therefore it is becoming increasingly important to order information well at an early stage
Purpose understanding of what public authorities consider as challenges in the scenario outlined above and what they help and knowledge compile this knowledge and define important research areas two different studies, one covers almost all public authorities in two Swedish counties - V sternorrland and J mtland (Study I). The other study was conducted at the Swedish Transport Administration (Study II). Mittuniversitetet
Study 1 Study 2. Preliminary study - Strategic platform for digital information management Preliminary study - Effective digital information management Mittuniversitetet
App. 40 pers experts and management Mittuniversitetet
Study 1 - Effective information management has been defined (expert group, Swedish word informationsf rvaltning) - Then we asked the authorities in what areas they would consider help useful in order to become more completely digital authorities. Mittuniversitetet
Method Study 1. Through interviews/expertgroup and questionnaires Mittuniversitetet
Results study 1. like help to develop the relevant part of the model most problem with digital archiving and archive management, Mittuniversitetet
Study II - Swedish Transport Administration Study II was an in-depth analysis of one of the country s largest public authorities. A series of focus groups that included various professions business architects, system administrators, controllers, people working with information security etc. gave an overview of the challenges the authorities face. Mittuniversitetet
Results study II Five areas of priority for research and development have been identified: The role - Swedish Transport Administration From builder of infrastructure to information manager, enhances the importance of information in processes more focus on management, auditing&control Key information flows 1) the investment process, from planning to implementation and maintenance and, 2) management and governance processes. The later is crucial for efficient information management to support the implementation of the authority s goals and strategic standpoints. Mittuniversitetet
Business architecture a common information model Currently, a number of different information professionals are involved in information management and administration, and synchronization is needed. Next level could be to develop an information model integrating different approaches. Information value and benefit Different information professionals carry out different forms of appraisal of information, e.g. in archives, architecture, and information security. For example, in order to classify information security, the information must be identified and appraised. Mittuniversitetet
Quality extensively duplicating work because of a lack of trust in the quality of the information, resulting in increased costs. The extent of this has, however, not been assessed in this study. In archival science quality parameters such as authenticity, reliability and useability are defined. Whether these are sufficient and useful in this context and in this authority is also important to investigate Mittuniversitetet
Conclusions To create and help the agencies to a more fully efficient digital information management, have we in this work underlined the importance of having; (digital information) - order and tidiness and a well thought out information management (30300, OAIS ..) - a work against a common information model - an enhanced interoperability where we suggests the an implementation of an e-archive that can constitute "a common minimum level" of interoperable information. - a development of e-service, which among others consists of an "Export module" where the information can be exported from the business systems to the e-archive solutions e-archive as a service".
