Standards Model
esd’s standards define what we call things = the semantics
Seven layers of standards
Peterborough’s project has some work on the format of inventories & datasets = syntax

Open Linked Data
• Lists published under Open Government Licence
• Available as Linked Data• Can query via SPARQL• Every list and term has a URI, which:
– Precisely defines something (eg service, function, metric type)– ‘Resolves’ in a web browser to show properties which define it
and link it to other things
• Follow these rules for publishing

Relevance to BIS Breakthrough
Projects• Kent - linking services to legislation.gov.uk
URIs to define council legal duties to deliver services and hold records
• Cheshire East - defining non-official geographies (eg town centres) as open data against which data for many metric types will be published
• Peterborough and Redbridge - defining standard for inventories of datasets index by service and function to be used by data.gov.uk

General rules
All projects should:– Reference datasets and data items
against national core reference data (including esd lists) where possible
– Comply with outputs of Peterborough and Redbridge work so your data can be harvested by data.gov.uk
– Share your formats and vocabularies to encourage re-use
