A Python application (px-reader on Github) for parsing and analyzing statistical data with the following key features:

  • Parses px-cubes from the Swiss Federal Statistical Office (BFS)
  • Converts statistical data files to linked data format
  • Handles BFS-specific px-format specifications
  • Processes cube contents and metadata into standardized linked data

Key outputs and deployment:

  • Importable into RDF triple stores like LINDAS (Linked Data Service)
  • Accessible via REST API
  • Deployable as:
    • Standalone Python service
    • Containerized Docker application

The tool bridges traditional statistical data formats and modern linked data infrastructure, enabling better data integration and interoperability across Swiss government statistics.
