[euopendata] Classification of open datasets

Fri Mar 1 13:09:48 UTC 2013

Dear List Members

Following on from the query/suggesion from Peter Krantz:-

I have worked with the UN Statistics Division to produce a multilingual SKOS/RDF version of the United Nations "Classification of Functions of Government" [COFOG] [1]   The files are available as downloads from the UN site [2]

COFOG has the advantage that at some level all countries report using this classification, and it also is sufficiently broad to make classification easier than with finer grained schemes.

Kind regards

Peter Winstanley
