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.
