-The idea is to convert available tourism statistical data (e.g. nights, occupancy, by canton) to semantic web data (RDF), and link those data to make them part of the [[http://lod-cloud.net/|LOD cloud]]. +**Link the Swiss Open Tourism Data to the World Linked Open Data.** 
-This project will thus fullfuill the maximum data quality according to [[http://5stardata.info/|Open Data 5 stars]].+ 
 +Open data (and data in general) are often isolated silos. Linked open data aims to connect these solitary informations to the other data sources in the web. If each data are linked, we can jump from link to link to retrieve and discover new knowledge.

 For the user, a graphical representation of the canton is provided which holds additional information (e.g. population, number of music festivals). This information forms the basis for further navigation. The additional data is gathered via smart linkage of different open data sources. For the user, a graphical representation of the canton is provided which holds additional information (e.g. population, number of music festivals).

 Those statistical data will thus be linked to other Linked Open Data sets (as [[http://dbpedia.org/About|DBPedia]], [[http://www.geonames.org/|geoNames]]), and the information from the different sources can thus be queried at will. Those statistical data will thus be linked to other Linked Open Data sets (as [[http://dbpedia.org/About|DBPedia]], [[http://www.geonames.org/|geoNames]]), and the information from the different sources can thus be queried at will.
-We did add extra links to a very valuable but non RDF data source (so far ;-)): http://map.geo.admin.ch/, by just linking the DBPedia URI's with the cantons'pages. 
  
 Some of the main difficulty in the beginning is the transformation of existing (meta) data into the RDF language. We started with an excel file and used Google Refine and its RDF extension to transform those raw, messy data. Some of the main difficulty in the beginning is the transformation of existing (meta) data into the RDF language.

 Linked where defined between the swiss cantons and their DBPedia URIs. Then geoNames about.rdf files about the cantons where also downloaded. The link between geoNames and DBPedia already exists in those about.rdf files...that's where the "magic" starts to operate. Linked where defined between the swiss cantons and their DBPedia URIs.

-To visualize that data, we're currently using an svg+javascript approach.

 +The current prototype is in PHP and relies on Google Maps.
 +But we also prepared a friendlier way to visualize that data, using an svg+javascript approach.
 +We did have time to integrate that vizualisation, but here is what it looks like:
