Visualizing Linked Open Statistical Data to Support Public Administration

Open data have tremendous potential which however remains unexploited. A large part of open data is numerical and highly structured. We concentrate on those data and capitalize on linked open data (LOD) as the underlying technology. In this paper, we present a number of tools to facilitate publishing and reusing of linked open statistical data. We propose an architecture and implementation that allows developing custom visualization and analysis tools without knowledge of LOD technologies. We further present work towards deploying relevant tools in six different countries to improve decision-making and transparency and thus support public administration
