TED Open Data

Explore and download TED Open Data using SPARQL queries.


The public procurement data collected by the Publications Office is available as Linked Open Data in the TED Open Data Service.

This tool allows you to explore and download TED Open Data using SPARQL queries. You can use it to compose your queries, test them, and customise the dataset that you want to retrieve. You can then use these queries to retrieve live data directly into your applications. See the Help tab for more information or writing queries and examples on how to connect Excel and other applications with TED Open Data, for further analysis and reporting.

This application is developed by the Publications Office of the EU and is available as open source on GitHub. We welcome your feedback, suggestions for improvement as well as your contributions to the project. Visit our GitHub Discussions forum to share your ideas and feedback.

Help

The TED Open Data Service allows you to extract custom datasets from the entire collection of public procurement data published by the Publications Office. This is made possible with Semantic Web technologies, specifically the SPARQL query language which allows you to specify the data you want to retrieve to meet the specific needs of your application.

To use this tool you will need to develop some familiarity with the logic and syntax of SPARQL as well as the concepts defined in the eProcurement Ontology. For detailed information and guidance on these topics, please visit our documentation website.
