[okfn-labs] EU Tender results data for download - sources report

Fri Sep 7 15:33:18 UTC 2012

Hey,

thanks for that update, really interesting! Out of the named options,
of course the LOD2 bit sounds most interesting. Maybe it would be
worth convincing them to release the data in a usable, non-RDF format
alongside the linked version. That would make it possible for
journalists and other non-nerds to have a look.

Are you in closer contact with Jakub?

Cheers,

 - Friedrich
