The Data-gov Wiki

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

• ANN: TWC data-gov challenge (Jan 2010) (22 January 2010, Jim Hendler will give 100 twc-points for interesting demos on (i) connecting US datasets and UK data datasets http://data.gov.uk/sparql and (ii) connecting US datasets and NTY linked dataset http://data.nytimes.com/)
