Open data friends,

If you could recommend only one resource (book, website, organisation, social media account, video, tool, other) what would you recommend to someone starting on their #opendata journey?

Something that will help them learn and explore.

Which is the best form to provide table Data to a #LLM? Markdown, CSV, plain Text, others? I have a table with few numbers but more text. The task is about interpreting the text. #DataBS do your magic.

Checkliste Linked Open Data für Verwaltungen Die Forderung nach mehr Linked Data aus der Verwaltung ist nicht neu und wird seit Jahren von Stimmen aus der CodeFor-Community und der OKF vorgetragen. Dennoch gibt es bislang nur wenige Beispiele, …

📣 Linked Open Data für Verwaltungen

Seit Jahren fordern Menschen aus der Community, dass öffentliche Daten nicht nur veröffentlicht, sondern verlinkbar und semantisch strukturiert bereitgestellt werden. Jetzt online: eine Checkliste für Akteur:innen, die Ähnliches planen.

Ohja, die waren toll!

Yesterday, I had to install @postgresql.org and pgAdmin for a #DataEngineering training course and nearly went nuts because I couldn't connect pgAdmin to the local database. As it turned out, you always have to set a user password for this (which I didn't 🫣).

I know that you're a keyboard aficionado, so I interpret that as: The keyboard is perfectly fine for the average user 😜

Insane Setup 🤯. Are you Happy with the Case, Keyboard quality? I was thinking about a tuxedo Notebook years ago but got a refurbished ThinkPad instead, because I read the quality was better than tuxedo.

However, making money from open-source is hard, but I still hope that many will pursue this path. When deciding on a tool, I will always pick the open-source one.

To me, it builds trust, and because it's shared as a gift for anyone to use, it makes me want to support it more.

Post-K-Pop, Love that!

Nice! I Just updated my bucket list.

Outside View of Moesgaard Museum

A staircase showing human Evolution with statues of different human species.

The famous Grauballe man, a bog body from the Iron age, found in Denmark.

Another great destination in the Aarhus area: Moesgaard Museum. Interesting exhibits from the #StoneAge to the #Vikings for the #Archeology nerds in the family (yes, that's me, but not only 😅). Also impressive modern Danish architecture again.

Outside of Dokk1 in Aarhus, Denmark

View in the harbor from Dokk1, Aarhus.

Today I visited Dokk1 in Aarhus, Denmark. It not only is a public library, it also has a great family area with all kinds of games and playgrounds. And on top there is a stunning view! Loved it!

And the actual Job is ... [Checks notes] ... Excel

Beaches and Bunkers in Hirtshals, Denmark.

Test Our Open Parl Data API – Opendata.ch 46 cities. 26 cantons. 2 countries (🇨🇭🇱🇮). For a year, we have been collaboratively building our open API for harmonized parliamentary data to promote transparency, innovation and participation in Swiss politics. Our data infrastructure imports data from 74 national, cantonal and municipal parliaments (some APIs, mostly websites) and partially* cleans, harmonizes and publishes them openly

If you are a journalist, political scientist, developer or someone interested in #data on political affairs, parliamentary proceedings, political actors, decrees, etc., please test our #OpenAPI and give us feedback on your observations, any issues or missing options! ❤️opendata.ch/news/test-ou...

Thank you for sharing! You made some interesting points. I'm curious how your journey continues. I'm on Linux with my private notebook for 10 years now, but your requirements are higher than mine. I basically use standard Ubuntu.

Hab Palantir Freeware installiert.

Schickt mal alle ein paar Namen.

Don't go overestimating how much people know in comparison to you. We all know bits & pieces. No one knows it all. You have nuggets of knowledge that other people don't have. If you talk to those other people & share a little of what you know & listen, everyone benefits. You all get nuggets! #databs

It's a CAS at @fhnw.ch www.fhnw.ch/de/weiterbil...

Very cool, thank you! I'm doing a data engineering course in fall. Your resources will definitely be a helpful addition.

SQL Workbench - Rapid prototyping SQL Queries & Data Visualizations An online SQL Workbench based on DuckDB that can query and visualize remote CSV, JSON, Parquet and Arrow data, as well as local files.

@tobilg.com Is it possible to set some default SQL for @sql-workbench.com? Like sql-workbench.com/query=SELECT * FROM READ_CSV("...");? I have an idea to facilitate access to our #opendata.

Da bin ich heute auch vorbei geradelt 😀
