> initiatives (as the OGD Austria - http://www.opendata.at
> or open3- http://www.open3.at and the Open Knowledge Forum Austria ) -
> academic (as Danube University or
> KDZ - Center for Research in Public Administration or Joanneum Research)
> ....and also (very strong here)

> organised by SWC and will take place on 16 June 2011 -see:

> Furthermore the LOD2 (http://www.lod2.eu) project supported the City of

> in the area of licenses, business models and e.g. URL schema as well as in
> linked open data
> in the course of the LOD2 Publink Services (see:

> Then we had a new government in Vienna (SPÖ & the green party) and they put

> Then there was a huge amount of work of the responsible civil servants here
