New publication to support Germany's Open Data development
Germany's digital association, Bitkom published a new Open Data report. Germany seems to be climbing up the ranks in relation to current Open Data leaders of the European Union.

Swiss geospatial data now available as linked data
The Swiss geoportal has started to publish geospatial data as linked data. This geoportal is harvested by the national Swiss Open Data portal, which is in turn harvested by the European Data Portal. With this development, more context is provided to the geospatial datasets, and data can be found and re-used more easily. Linked Data uses tuples to connect data that have a relationship with each other. The data are identified, shared and linked via their Uniform Resource Identifier (URI). The Resource Description Framework (RDF) is used to encode and link the data. Linked data can be queried via
