Large RDFa dataset deployed
A couple of days ago, riese (RDFizing and Interlinking the EuroStat Data Set Effort) has been launched; it aims at serving the entire statistical data available via Eurostat (some 3 billion triple). Currently, riese is the largest known deployment of XHTML+RDFa content on the Web (some 5 million triple). In riese, several vocabularies are in use: From AtomOwl (for data updates) over DOAP (self-description of the project) to SKOS (hierarchical order of themes).
The riese Semantic Web application is a good-practice implementation of several of the Semantic Web Deployment WG, such as RDFa, SKOS, but also Best Practice Recipes for Publishing RDF Vocabularies (for riese’s schemas). Last but not least, riese is a contribution to the linked-data initiative, where the aim is to create semantic links between open datasets available on the Web.
