Last month we launched Open Data Scotland [ http://www.opendatascotland.org/ ] - a pilot site built for the Scottish Government [ http://www.scotland.gov.uk/] to showcase how Linked Open Data can make for smarter, more efficient data use. Accompanying the site is a report (download pdf) [http://www.scotland.gov.uk/Publications/2013/12/6550 ] which we produced to explain what open linked data is; how to publish it effectively and its potential use and benefits to the Scottish public sector.

 

The site is split into three parts:

* data-driven interactive visualisations

 [http://simd.opendatascotland.org/releases/2012/councils ]

* tutorials [ http://schools.opendatascotland.org/introduction ] to help people get started with using the data

* technical documentation and access to the raw data [http://data.opendatascotland.org/ ]
