This article presents a conceptual framework where the value of data stems from how it is used. The authors claim that the impact of digital transformation in the public sector presupposes an organisational culture that recognises and values data-in-use (that is, the practical application of data for a specific purpose, particularly by staff who deliver services). Through the lens of two "worldviews" of data sharing, it presents case studies of data use in two local authorities in Scotland. The research illustrates that local authorities within Scotland are still at an early stage of developing this culture. UNBIS Thesaurus LOCAL GOVERNMENT Keyword Data ecosystem
