Lovely Data 2 at FutureEverything

Last weekend, I attended the 2nd Lovely Data Hack Day, part of the 2011 FutureEverything conference and festival in Manchester.

As well as getting to meet more people interested in open data, it was good to catch up with people from the previous event, and see what they’d been up to with our Linked Data API.

We’re really pleased to see that developers have been able to use our linked data and API to build great apps, without themselves having to go through the work of understanding and processing the raw data files.

You can read my full write up of the event (and the apps to come out of it) on the Swirrl Blog.
