The document discusses using linked open data to share local council decisions. It proposes using persistent identifiers, standardized information, and links between data to publish decisions in a reusable format following the web as a blueprint. This allows decisions to be more efficiently discovered and integrated in applications and by citizens, businesses, and other government organizations. Standards like OSLO are promoted to simplify publishing local open data.
