scottish neighbourhood statistics as Linked Data

[Keith Alexander]

Hi,

At the hackday in February, Bill, Peter and I, with the statistical-domain help of Euan, started work on rendering the SNS data as Linked Data.

We've now got the statistics from 2010 available at:

http://sns.linkedscotland.org/

I meant to write a longer email about the process of conversion etc ... maybe some other time :p

Thank you to Euan for answering so many questions so patiently.

Keith

Thanks K

long time to swig :-)

very cool doing!

would be interested also in the 'learning process', so please share any q/a that could be of interest to all of us

where was the data taken from

how was it manipulated

what decisions had to be made

etc

also it would be nice if the developers of these dataset could also  find a mo to explain  what information and knowledge is now available to the public, through rdf encoding of this dataset, what can one do with this data etc.

I can volunteer writing up the answers in a note if someone is interested in providing additional info as to the background process and what does it all mean :-)
