These pages give information about the LOS hackathon that will take place in Paris in September 2018.
The hackathon is organized in the framework of the Linked Open Statistics ESSnet. Its main objectives are to:
- Develop programs to create or enrich RDF statistical datasets;
- Create RDF links between those datasets and other data;
- Develop programs that use the datasets in a valuable way (query, explore, visualize, export, etc.);
- Evaluate or test software packages that perform all or part of the previous activities.
The hackathon is structured in two tracks:
- The “Produce” track will focus on creating, linking, and otherwise enriching RDF data sets.
- The “Consume” track will be devoted to using the RDF data sets by building tools to visualize, query, explore, import or export them.
For more information on these two tracks, click on the following links: Produce - Consume.
A number of data sets have been prepared for the hackathon, which are precisely described in the Data sets page.
Other useful resources can be found in the Standards, models and vocabularies and Software tools pages.
The hackathon will take place at Insee's headquarters in Montrouge, just south of Paris. Access information is available on Insee's web site. Participants must be registered and bring a valid photo ID in order to enter the building.
Each participant must bring its own laptop with development tools. WiFi will be available.
