That looks great. And if you wanted to do more linkage, we have put the UN/LOCODE data [1] at http://unlocode.rkbexplorer.com/ (RDF: http://unlocode.rkbexplorer.com/models/unlocode-towns.rdf http://unlocode.rkbexplorer.com/models/unlocode-countries.rdf http://unlocode.rkbexplorer.com/models/unlocode-municipalunits.rdf ) And the UK's Ordnance Survey administrative geography is at http://os.rkbexplorer.com/ (RDF: http://os.rkbexplorer.com/models/AdministrativeGeography.rdf) Best Hugh [1] http://www.unece.org/cefact/locode/ On 10/12/2008 18:25, "Sören Auer" <auer@informatik.uni-leipzig.de> wrote: Hi all, We were working in the last weeks on bringing geo data derived from the marvelous OpenStreetMap project [1] to the data web. This work in progress is still far from being finished, however, we would like to share some first preliminary results: * A *vast amount of point-of-interest descriptions* was extracted from OSM and published as Linked Data at <http://linkedgeodata.org> * The *Linked Geo Data browser and editor* (available at <http://linkedgeodata.org/browser>) is a facet-based browser for geo content, which uses an OLAP inspired hypercube for quickly retrieving aggregated information about any user selected area on earth. Further information can be also found in our AKSW project description: <http://aksw.org/Projects/LinkedGeoData> Thanks go to Sebastian Dietzold, Jens Lehmann, Sebastian Hellmann, David Aumueller and other members of the AKSW team for their contributions. Merry Christmas to everybody from Leipzig Sören [1] http://openstreetmap.org -- -------------------------------------------------------------- Sören Auer, AKSW/Computer Science Dept., University of Leipzig http://www.informatik.uni-leipzig.de/~auer, Skype: soerenauer
