  34. 3. Compatible Payment categories The problem: Spending decisions are using different (or not any!) classification schemes (e.g. CPV, UNSSC, NAICS)

  39. the 5 stars of open linked data ★make your stuff available on the Web (whatever format) ★★make it available as structured data (e.g. excel instead of image scan of a table) ★★★non-proprietary format (e.g. csv instead of excel) ★★★★use URLs to identify things, so that people can point at your stuff ★★★★★link your data to other people’s data to provide context http://lab.linkeddata.deri.ie/2010/star-scheme-by-example/

  40. Linked data = internet + http + RDF

  41. Linked Data Principles • Use URIs as names for things • Use URIs so that people can look up (dereference) those names. • When someone looks up a URI, provide useful information. • Include links to other URIs so that they can discover more things.

  42. Web as a database • Linked Data makes the web exploitable as ONE GIANT HUGE GLOBAL DATABASE! • Is there any query language like sql?SPARQL…

  43. What are we planning? • LOD for the main economic activities (insurance, banking) • Law for open data by default in ALL public organisations • Open data education (open generation)
