In order to allow easier querying of the data, the Mimas LD team are investigating the possibility of implementing a triple store with an associated SPARQL endpoint.

The Mimas LD project has allowed the ESDS International team to understand how aggregated data can be made available as Linked Data and the team will endeavour to support users who wish to use this type of data and will consider making further ESDS International datasets available in this way in the future.

The methods developed at ESDS International are also being applied by the Census Dissemination Unit to make the census aggregate statistics available as Linked Data. More information about this project is available at the CDU blog .
