Hello thanks for your help with the postcode query. The reason I ask is I have over the past five years been making a digital public artwork called www.landscape-Portrait.com. This has involved me and various collaborators working with communities and encouraging them to record their own profile of an area as a counterpoint to that provided by postcode demographics - see www.landscape-portrait.com.
I am now in the position of having an archive of geo stamped video portraits of various locations in the UK and I wanted to link these to postcode. My first thought was to do this via Wikipedia/DBpedia; does this sound plausible ?, I am somewhat of a newbie to the world of linked data. Any thoughts of advice would be appreciated, Kevin Carter.
