We discuss and demonstrate how selected governmental data from the city of Leipzig, published as Linked Data, can play a decisive factor for realizing Digital Agenda goals of the European Commission. As an example, Lecos present the current state and planned future developments of: (a) data sources, (b) data conversions, (c) publishing technologies and (d) incubating visualizations about data concerning the accessibility of governmental edifices depending on the degree of disabilities of visiting citizen.
