This dataset is a curated statistical dataset from the Muenster City Council in RDF (Resource Description Framework) format. The City Council of Muenster has provided statistical datasets about Muenster covering the period 2010-2014 in PDF (Portable Document Format). Since PDF is not machine readable, students from the University of Muenster have tried to convert this statistical data into RDF, making therefore the data consumable by machines. The dataset covers five different topics:

• Unemployment in Muenster
• Population in Muenster
• Migration in Muenster
• Households of Muenster
• Employees subject to social insurance in Muenster

As proofs of the usefulness of the RDF data, the students built some nice visualizations. The visualizations can be accessed from:

• https://git.io/vD547 (unemployment)
• https://git.io/vD545 (population)
• https://git.io/vD54d (migration)
• https://git.io/vD54b (households)
• https://git.io/vD5Bv (employees subject to social insurance)
