已经表明，从网页和网站之间的链接收集的信息和关于网页和网站之间的链接的信息可以反映真实的世界现象和它们所代表的组织之间的关系。然而，政府链接还没有从网络计量学的角度进行广泛的研究。这项研究的目的是增加政府的相互联系的知识，并阐明它可能表明的真实的世界现象。我们发现，在芬兰的地方政府机构之间的相互联系遵循一个强大的地理，或者说是地缘政治模式，政府的相互联系主要是出于官方合作，地理相邻已经成为可能。
It has been shown that information collected from and about links between web pages and web sites can reflect real world phenomena and relationships between the organizations they represent. Yet, government linking has not been extensively studied from a webometric point of view. The aim of this study was to increase the knowledge of governmental interlinking and to shed some light on the possible real world phenomena it may indicate. We show that interlinking between local government bodies in Finland follows a strong geographic, or rather a geopolitical pattern and that governmental interlinking is mostly motivated by official cooperation that geographic adjacency has made possible.
