Welcome to Linked Open Data Around the Clock

How can we support you concerning Linked Open Data on the Web?

What is this all about?

With the Linked Open Data Around-The-Clock (LATC) Support Action we want to enable you to leverage the Linking Open Data cloud for research and product purposes by:

1. Deploying a 24/7 infrastructure to continuously monitor and improve the quality of data links within the Linking Open Data cloud.
2. Lowering the access-barrier for data publishers as well as data consumers. We assemble and maintain a library of open source Linked Data tools and provide a data source inventory to the community.
3. Creating and maintaining an in-depth test-bed for data intensive applications by publishing datasets produced by the European Commission, the European Parliament, and other European institutions as Linked Data on the Web and by interlinking them with other governmental data.
4. Supporting both institutions as well as individuals with tutorials and best practices concerning Linked Data publication and consumption.

Support? Do I have to pay?

No. It's free and open to everyone. No matter if you are a researcher in an FP7 project or some national project; if you are a developer in an SME or member of a governmental agency—we are very likely able to help you. Read more ...

LATC is a Specific Support Action (SSA) in the context of the FP7 ICT Challenge 4; it is a publicly funded project, with partners all over Europe and clients around the world.
