Create, Expand and Exploit Linked Open Statistical Data

A major part of Open Data concerns statistics that is structured as multi-dimensional data cubes. Linked Data technologies have the potential to realise the vision of combining and performing analytics on top of previously isolated cubes on the Web. Although a few recently launched tools focus on handling linked data cubes, they fall sort to support the whole lifecycle including the integration of multiple cubes and performing analytics on top of integrated and expanded cubes. In this workshop, we will present the OpenCube Toolkit, a set of open source tools that cover the whole linked data cubes lifecycle in an integrated manner. The participants will be guided to a hands-on tour on using and evaluating some of the tools with real datasets e.g. from Eurostat or Digital Agenda.
