In this poster, we will present the International Open Government Dataset Search (IOGDS). IOGDS is a faceted browsing interface for searching over more than one million open government datasets from around the world. We will present ongoing research and development towards the improved discovery and access to open government data. IOGDS has been designed around S2S, a framework for constructing user interfaces over Semantic Web services. We will discuss how the Web service abstraction layer in the S2S framework can be extended to support the use of external vocabularies to aid in the discovery of open government datasets. We will also discuss how the S2S framework can provide localization and context for non-expert users to improve the accessibility of open government data.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
