Provision of services, tools and training materials for publishing, using and visualising Linked Open Data

29. Main Challenges for LOSD Adoption
Lack of appropriate skills for data production and dissemination inside NSOs, and for data reuse by users
Perceived immaturity of tooling despite eisting success stories
Lack of clear guidelines and how-to
Lack of awareness and buy-in from top management in some NSOs

42. WP5: Use-Case Reporting
Objective
WP5 reports on the NSO use cases, describing their experiences and lessons learned. This will, on the one hand, feed back into the development and iteration of the LOSD Service and, on the other hand, support the development of a training and capacity building roadmap for other NSOs who wish to publish and link statistical data to follow.
