Local Government Business Model and Linked Data

Lists and the relationships between them (known as an ontology) form the Local Government Business Model (LGBM), which is evolving from the work of esd-toolkit's Information Management Group. Lists are presented in a format which will be familiar to users of esd-toolkit's standards pages. However these pages are also designed to support Linked Data techniques that drive the semantic web.
