Re: linked data for eGov

Hi Eric,

if you need example data sources, I guess your best bets are:

- Joshua Tauberer's GovTrack.us publishes linked data about members of the 
U.S. Congress, as well as bills, committees and votes. 12M triples. Example 
resources, announcement
- US Census RDF version of the 2000 US census dataset. Consists of around 1 
billion triples. Served as linked data and via a SPARQL endpoint. Example 
things: USA New Jersey (http://www.rdfabout.com/demo/census/)
- CIA Factbook D2R Server publishing the CIA Factbook. Example thing: 
Botswana
- Eurostat Countries and Regions D2R Server publishing statistical 
information about European countries and regions. Example thing: Leipzig. 
See also LOD Eurostat page
- and the LOD page altogether to set the context
http://esw.w3.org/topic/SweoIG/TaskForces/CommunityProjects/LinkingOpenData

Cheers and good luck ;-)

Chris
