Enterprise Data Web Procedures for data input that integrate semantic features and annotations early in the ingestion process of data. Impact of the LOD2 platform in the activity of the corporation. Citizen – publicdata.eu Increase public access to high-value, machine-readable data sets generated by the European, national as well as regional governments and public administrations.
