How many agencies abroad are there really?
editAccording to this page from October 2020 on regeringen.se there are 108, according to the front page of myndighetsregistret there are 112, and when you filter by "Svenska utlandsmyndigheter" on said website you get 205 hits. Popperipopp (talk) 08:21, 23 July 2021 (UTC)
- Very good question. I asked the same question on dataportal.se Ainali (talk) 09:44, 23 July 2021 (UTC)
- Having tried to go through the ones in myndighetsregistret it seems to be quite inaccurate, maybe our best bet is to ask UD directly. Abbe98 (talk) 19:03, 23 July 2021 (UTC)
- Good idea, I made a Freedom of Information request. Ainali (talk) 19:29, 23 July 2021 (UTC)
- I got an answer with a pointer to this list. We could start with that since it is an official source, but since it is 110 and not 108, I made a follow up question to ask which number is out of date. Ainali (talk) 08:09, 2 August 2021 (UTC)

Social media of embassies
editI scraped the swedenabroad website and fetched all the listed social media accounts of the embassies. In case anyone wants to take a stab at connecting the URLs to Wikidata items, here's a data dump. Popperipopp (talk) 11:57, 25 July 2021 (UTC)
- Thank you Popperipopp (talk • contribs • logs)! I will try to match it using official website (P856) as a start. Abbe98 (talk) 13:48, 25 July 2021 (UTC)
- Almost all of the embassy items now have their official websites documented, to facilitate the matching. Popperipopp (talk) 22:04, 25 July 2021 (UTC)
Enitities under regions
editWe got a good point of view on the CivicTech Sweden's meetup: regions usually have many entities under them. For example Västra Götaland Regional Council (Q3233447) have this listing where most are separate legal entities (like Sahlgrenska University Hospital Network (Q76347813)) and only some are companies owned by them. What status do these really have, and do we want to include all of them or only some? Ainali (talk) 10:43, 21 August 2021 (UTC)
- The vast majority appears not to be separate legal entities but just administrative sub-units(Förvaltningar). Abbe98 (talk) 17:55, 22 August 2021 (UTC)
- Well, I guess the question still stands, even if they are just a few ones. Ainali (talk) 20:10, 22 August 2021 (UTC)
- I'm unable to identify any case were a separate legal entity is something other than a company in the list above. I would however imagine that we in Sweden as a whole can find examples of foundation (Q157031), voluntary association (Q48204), company (Q783794), and common area (Q10660893). Abbe98 (talk) 20:34, 22 August 2021 (UTC)
- Hmm, I think we were a bit confused by the meetup then. I was looking into it as well and agree with you. One can also see almost all of them under the same organisation number, but with different "workplaces" here: https://www.allabolag.se/2321000131/adresser Ainali (talk) 21:21, 22 August 2021 (UTC)

"Non-government entities with government duties"
editDo we care about these? How to handle them? Ekonomistyrningsverket did a survey in 2007: Att verka genom andra : Kartläggning av organ med statligt åtagande
From the preface:
"Regeringen har i Ekonomistyrningsverkets (ESV) regleringsbrev för budgetåret 2007 gett verket i uppdrag att kartlägga organ som inte är statliga myndigheter men som i praktiken utgör en del av det statliga åtagandet."
The report lists 579 such entities.
Also the SOU 2008:111 Styra och ställa - förslag till en effektivare statsförvaltning seems useful for understanding, especially section 2.5-2.6 and bilaga 7 – The preceding unsigned comment was added by Vitplister (talk • contribs) at 05:42, 19 September 2021 (UTC).
- That is a great point! Yes, I think we do care about them. Besides what you listed this is also very common at municipal level where there might be privatized waterworks (Q10373565), real estate company (Q1660104) etc. As a start, we should add member of (P463) and owned by (P127)/owner of (P1830) on these entities as appropriate. Then we can start to think of how queries would look like and how we would want to visualize it. Ainali (talk) 07:57, 19 September 2021 (UTC)
Publicly owned companies
editHere is some research on publicly state-owned companies in Sweden. It would be nice to add them eventually. Ainali (talk) 18:39, 14 October 2021 (UTC)
Created position items for all Swedish government agency (Q68295960)
editJust fyi, almost all Swedish government agency (Q68295960) now have values for office held by head of the organization (P2388). See query: https://w.wiki/4cQu Popperipopp (talk) 22:44, 28 December 2021 (UTC)
- That's awesome, thanks! Abbe98 (talk) 20:36, 4 January 2022 (UTC)
