Re: [Eurostat dataset] riese = linked data + RDFa

Thanks to you Michael

I can see tables at the end of the links now, it can become deeply 
unsettling where there is nothing there
as already mentioned I am never sure what to expect.

>. The idea here is to use a feed format in RDF/OWL,
>(AtomOwl [2]) to signal when new data has arrived (cf. [3] for example);

Now that's new to me , Atom Owl? got to reasearch

I am intersted in the process of 'data arrival'. how does the data 'arrive', 
where, where from?

I will study the set up and ask you questions offlist later.

One thing that I can anticipate people will ask , when I show them this as 
an example of what
the semantic web can do,  is something like: 'how is this more useful than 
the data set displayed in a normal table using a normal website'. Er...
I anticipate having to prepare a good answer. My first take would be:
the data that you see is not there, it is just a 'view' from aggregated 
sources, which in terms of data manipulation is much more powerful. Would 
this be true?
What are the benefits of this technology as opposed to just updating data in 
plain table format?

thanks a lot!
