The aim of this paper is to outline the European Statistical System (ESS) Linked Open Statistical Data (LOSD) project vision, to look at progress in the project to date, to share key insights learned and to explore the publication pipeline and toolkit that has been developed. The LOSD project is being delivered in the context of the European Statistical System’s (ESS) DIGICOM project. DIGICOM contributes to two key areas of the ESS vision: (i) focus on users, and (ii) improve dissemination and communication. One of the four DIGICOM work packages is Open Data Dissemination. The ultimate objective of the Open Data Dissemination work package is to facilitate automated access to European aggregate data for heavy users or re disseminators and to improve access to micro data. The ESSnet on Linked Open Statistical Data was launched in November 2017. In September 2018 the ESSnet LOSD publication pipeline was unveiled at the Paris Hackathon. The paper will outline the steps of the LOSD publishing pipeline built by the ESSnet consortium; data conversions, data publishing, data linking and data visualisation and analysis. The toolkit will be explored in the context of the use cases selected at the Dublin Hackathon in February 2018. A number of data and metadata challenges which have been encountered will be highlighted. The possibility of what LOSD can achieve will be considered.
