How do search engines retrieve results, and how can we make the UN’s published output relevant for such searchers? Linked data is structured data interlinked with other data, making it more useful (and discoverable) through semantic queries. The Dag Hammarskj?ld Library is pleased to announce the launch of their new linked data services platform: and the Department of Economic and Social Affairs’ taxonomy of , as well as the SDG Interface Ontology, maintained by UN Environment. These common identifiers are deployed to provide a key element of infrastructure that will allow UN system organizations and relevant stakeholders to map their SDG resources to the growing pool of knowledge about the SDGs available on the semantic web.
More linked data services and taxonomies will be hosted on metadata.un.org as they become available.
We welcome
