In the coming days we will work on releasing more information about the inner workings of the site and as we finalize some of our Drupal maintenance modules and integrations with Ckan and other technologies used by us, those as well.  We will also publish the latest code for our organogram tool, an RDF based visualisation of hierarchical structures. The linked data API used across the site can be found here
