Norwegian State of estate report as linked open data

Abstract

This paper presents the Norwegian State of Estate (SoE) dataset containing data about real estates owned by the central government in Norway. The dataset is produced by integrating cross-domain government datasets including data from sources such as the Norwegian business entity register, cadastral system, building accessibility register and the previous SoE report. The dataset is made available as Linked Data. The Linked Data generation process includes data acquisition, cleaning, transformation, annotation, publishing, augmentation and interlinking the annotated data as well as quality assessment of the interlinked datasets. The dataset is published under the Norwegian License for Open Government Data (NLOD) and serves as a reference point for applications using data on central government real estates, such as generation of the SoE report, searching properties suitable for asylum reception centres, risk assessment for state-owned buildings or a public building application for visitors.
