The Data-gov Wiki

We investigate the government datasets using semantic web technologies. Currently, we are translating such datasets into RDF, getting them linked to linked data cloud, and developing interesting applications and demos on linked government data.

• 4.7 Billions of Triples from data.gov Datasets (Oct 4, 2009, We have translated 116 data.gov datasets in RDF contributing 4.7 billions of triples.)
• Demos for data.gov data (7 Aug 2009, We have recently developed a number of demos utilizing data.gov data to explore the how the data can be used and displayed in informative ways. Our current work focuses on data visualization.)
