Evidence-based policy is policy informed by rigorously established
objective evidence. An important aspect of evidence-based policy
is the use of scientifically rigorous studies to identify programs
and practices capable of improving policy relevant outcomes. Statistics
represent a crucial means to determine whether progress is made towards
policy targets. In May 2010, the European Commission adopted the
Digital Agenda for Europe, a strategy to take advantage of the potential
offered by the rapid progress of digital technologies. The Digital
Agenda contains commitments to undertake a number of specific policy
actions intended to stimulate a circle of investment in and usage
of digital technologies. It identifies 13 key performance targets.
In order to chart the progress of both the announced policy actions
and the key performance targets a scoreboard is published, thus allowing
the monitoring and benchmarking of the main developments of information
society in European countries. In addition to these human-readable
browsing, visualization and exploration methods, machine-readable
access facilitating re-usage and interlinking of the underlying data
is provided by means of RDF and Linked Open Data. We sketch the transformation
process from raw data up to rich, interlinked RDF, describe its publishing
and the lessons learned.
