This dataset contains a Linked Data representation of the postcodes in the United Kingdom. It is based on the National Statistics Postcode Lookup.
This ONS Geography Linked Data site is the access point for information on statistical geographies required to support the use of official statistics. It is designed to allow users to discover, view and use geospatial data. This site is complementary to the ONS Open Geography Portal. It allows access directly to data within the geography products, in machine-readable form and using an Application Programming Interface.
This is a linked data resource: it has a permanent unique uri at which both humans and machines can find it on the Internet, and which can be used an identifier in queries on our SPARQL endpoint.
Linked Data is stored in graphs. We keep dataset contents (the data) separately from the metadata, to make it easier for you to find exactly what you need.
