write a linkspec for interlinking city entities of Eurostat #21

Eurostat has a dictionary of cities which provides statistics of different cities. It will be a good target for interlinking to DBPedia and other relevant data sources.

For reference, see [1] and [2].

I have been thinking the same. It's called the Urban Audit. There are cities in http://eurostat.linked-statistics.org/dic/geo.rdf also.

sorenroug commented 12 years ago

Perhaps the cities can be linked to GeoNames as well?

sorenroug commented 12 years ago

I've created a vocabulary to link the hierarchy: http://rdfdata.eionet.europa.eu/eurostatdic/citylinks.ttl

See http://epp.eurostat.ec.europa.eu/portal/page/portal/region_cities/city_urban/spatial_units

thanks soren for contributing it. The second release of Eurostat is still in progress. Once we update our SPARQL endpoint, we will also add it.
