A view on the model and tools for Km4City. http://www.disit.org/km4city, http://servicemap.disit.org
A very large number of public and private data sets are available from local governments and are a huge resources for Europe and for the cities. In most cases, the citizens use worldwide operators such as Google, OpenStreet Map, Here, TomTom, etc., to get information while they found it in most cases insufficient for who is leaving in the city. The local governs have much more detailed data, some of them are public other are private and accessible only as authenticated services and thus not easily accessible for worldwide operators. These open and private valuable data are too fragmented and not accessible for the final users, citizens or companies that use to exploit them for providing services. They could be a source of revenues and are becoming a big business for local specific services, too small and complex to be of interest for worldwide operators.
In order to solve the above described problems and provide a unique point of access for interoperable data of a city metropolitan area we have realized (http://www.disit.org/km4city ) an ontological model called Km4City and well formalized and open grounded on ontology standards. In addition, a set of tools for data ingestion, management, aggregation, indexing and for producing in short time web and mobile applications have been realized and make accessible. The solution is presently today in place in Florence and whole Tuscany area. A smarter navigation can be performed from http://servemap.disit.org while mobile applications are accessible on Google Play and Apple Store.
The Km4City solution is covering multiple domains for citizens integrating aspects of mobility and transport, with energy, banks, parking, commercial, bike paths, delay for busses, garden areas, etc.

Linked Data provides an unexpected boost to the detection of fraud and finding the ones who have set up the fraud.
The Linked Data Theatre service (in Dutch we called it ‘kenniskluis’) is an online service that serves linked data of a number of key registers.
Due to the increasing amount of Linked Data openly published on the Web, user-facing Linked Data Applications (LDAs) are gaining momentum.
The work of lawyers and civil servants largely relies on reliable sources for legislation, case law and parliamentary documents.
NXP has applied Linked Data technologies to create an Enterprise Data Hub by integrating data and metadata from several systems.
It is surprisingly difficult to find things on today's Web of Data. You need an IRI to start traversing the interconnected knowledge graph. But how do you find such a resource-denoting IRI?
