Dear Reader,

Welcome to another issue of XML.com.

Joshua Tauberer, who runs fedgovtrack.us, is a champion of publishing open
data on the Web, a subject which is near and dear to my heart. Joshua's
found that using RDF is an efficient means of repurposing open data,
particularly from the U.S. federal government. In this week's lead
article, Joshua explains how to query U.S. Census Bureau data with RDF and
Python.
