Digitization didn’t make them easier to understandvenerdì 21 ottobre 2011

But it made them (sort of) machine readablevenerdì 21 ottobre 2011

To exctract useful information data needs to be contextualized. Linked with: - Demographics and other statistical data (ISTAT) - Data on local governors (OPENPOLIS) - Geodata (OPENSTREETMAP) Linking Open Data cloud diagram, by Richard Cyganiak and Anja Jentzsch. http://lod-cloud.net/venerdì 21 ottobre 2011
