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.

Status

This site is now considered live, but is under continual improvement. Lists will be periodically updated, as shown in their guidance pages, in response to user requests and research by esd-toolkit and associated programmes. The content and features of the site are also subject to continual improvement under management of esd-toolkit's Key Information Group. Do feed back via these pages or e-mail to support@esd.org.uk if you have any specific requests.
