This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 693849.

Demographic, economic and social statistics are increasingly available as open data, but using them is made difficult by fragmentary, incompatible and disconnected approaches to publication.

Open Statistics (the systematic study of open statistical data) aims to make such data easier to use, whether for statistical analysis, visualisation or in applications.

Statistical data can best be represented using the data cube model, in which different datasets contribute facets to views of a larger structure. We apply the data cube model using Linked Data technologies and vocabularies.

OpenGovIntelligence launched in February 2016 and will run for three years.

We are developing software tools for creating, expanding and exploiting Linked Open Statistical Data. Pilots with government authorities in six countries will demonstrate and investigate how statistical data cubes can help create innovative, data-driven public services.
