This document discusses RESTful publishing of open data. It advocates making data available on the web in open formats like CSV instead of closed formats like Excel. It promotes identifying data using URIs and outputting data in RDF format with basic ontologies to add semantics. The document also describes a data adapter called The DataTank that was released on GitHub to improve accessibility of open data on the web.
