| Abstract | Publishing open data is going mainstream. There are diverse initiatives, ranging from international agencies to local governments, exposing data publicly in standard formats to foster transparency, innovation and public scrutiny. Nevertheless, the publishing of statistical data still presents huge challenges. Statistical modeling, privacy concerns, statistical secrecy, business models, etc., are still barriers to publishing massive amounts of statistical data without a corresponding requirement for significantly large processing. To date, access is usually restricted to limited views of the data. This paper presents a proposal for publishing census data, by using (1) the W3C open standard RDF; and (2) the design principles of Linked Data. |
