The document outlines the LinkedStat project, which aims to enhance the value of official Istat data by converting it into linked data and making it accessible through a SPARQL endpoint. It details the project's phases, starting from the 2012 XSLT conversion tool to ongoing work to connect LinkedStat data with linked open data (LOD) sources. Future directions include expanding use cases and increasing connections between LinkedStat and LOD sources.
