I have used the CBS website to compile my own statistics for research.
Their data is completely available online as far as I know and you can
download the queries you run on the fly in .csv file format, or text or
excel. They have various data tables depending on what you find interesting
and complete tables of historical data is also available. That said, I
think any pilot project would need to start with their publications, which
are also available online. These can be freely used as sources for
statements. Interesting data for Wikidata could be population statistics of
major cities per century or employment statistics per city per century and
so forth. See CBS.nl

Hoi,
As far as I am concerned, data that is available on the web is fine if you
use data on the web. It makes no difference when the data is to be used in
the context of the WMF.
When the CBS shares data with us in Wikidata, it makes the data available
in Wikipedia.
It is why I would like for something small, a pilot project something
where we can build on.
Thanks,
GerardM

Netherlands Statistics should just post the data
on the web...so that
anyone can use its "Linked Data".
And actually, CSV on the Web is now a reality (no longer a need for XBRL)

As DanBri notes in his P.S. at the bottom of the above link..."... the
ability (in the csv2rdf doc) to map from
rows in a table via templates into RDF triples....is very powerful."
