TWC LOGD: A portal for linked open government data ecosystems
نویسندگان
چکیده
International open government initiatives are releasing an increasing volume of raw government datasets directly to citizens via the Web. The transparency resulting from these releases creates new application opportunities but also imposes new burdens inherent to large-scale distributed data integration, collaborative data manipulation and transparent data consumption. The Tetherless World Constellation (TWC) at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) has developed the Semantic Web-based TWC LOGD Portal to support the deployment of Linked Open Government Data (LOGD). The Portal is both an open source infrastructure supporting linked open government data production and consumption and a vibrant community portal that educates and serves the growing international open government community of developers, data curators and end users. This paper motivates and introduces the TWC LOGD portal and highlights innovative aspects and lessons learned.

متن کاملApplying Linked Data Technologies to Greek Open Government Data: A Case Study
Open government data is a valuable resource of information addressed to a significant number of recipients. However, this information is usually published in raw format, i.e. without following specific guidelines and remains unexploited. Linked data technologies, on the other hand, aim at transforming data published in web sites into a machine readable format (usually RDF using URIs) in order f...
