“…This has been done at the level of classes, entities and their attributes. Even if this is clearly somewhat time consuming in general, in our case this is motivated by the limited number of datasets and because of the unsatisfactory quality of the links that we obtained by using the existing linking facilities, such as Google Refine [12] and Silk [25].…”

“…-Conversion: In [12] data conversion was accomplished with the condition that the dataset had to be published in the Dcat 34 format. This is a strong limitation since in case data is not already in this format there are no tools to automatically convert other formats (e.g., CSV, XML) into Dcat.…”

Abstract. Our work is settled in the context of the public administration domain, where data can come from different entities, can be produced, stored and delivered in different formats and can have different levels of quality. Hence, such a heterogeneity has to be addressed, while performing various data integration tasks. We report our experimental work on publishing some government linked open geo-metadata and geo-data of the Italian Trentino region. Specifically, we illustrate how 161 core geographic datasets were released by leveraging on the geo-catalogue application within the existing geo-portal. We discuss the lessons we learned from deploying and using the application as well as from the released datasets.

“…Especially for governments, it is important to inspire novel applications, which will eventually increase the wealth and prosperity of the country. While publication of raw data is a substantial progress, the difficulty in interpreting the data as well as the heterogeneity of publication formats, such as spreadsheets, relational database dumps, and XML files, represent major obstacles that need to be overcome [9,12,15] -especially because the schema is rarely well documented and explained for non-experts. Furthermore, it is not possible to evaluate queries over one or multiple of these datasets.…”

Abstract. Recent advances in Semantic Web technologies have led to a growing popularity of the Linked Open Data movement. Only recently, the Danish government has joined the movement and published several datasets as Open Data. These raw datasets are difficult to process automatically and combine with other data sources on the Web. Hence, our goal is to convert such data into RDF and make it available to a broader range of users and applications as Linked Open Data. In this paper, we discuss our experiences based on the particularly interesting use case of agricultural data as agriculture is one of the most important industries in Denmark. We describe the process of converting the data and discuss the particular problems that we encountered with respect to the considered datasets. We additionally evaluate our result based on several queries that could not be answered based on existing sources before.

Abstract. The present paper debates the concept of requirement in the contexts of software and systems engineering. Requirements are usually extracted from documents, stakeholders and existing systems generating a natural language specification. On the other hand system models are designed to define system behavior and to validate and verify the system against a specification. That is why requirements, as a basic unit of specification, must be aligned and linked to a model with the aim of supporting the whole development lifecycle of any product or service. Although some Model-based systems engineering (MBSE) methodologies have tried to bridge the gap between natural language and models moving from document-centric to model or requirement-based approaches, there is still a lack of interoperability and integration between requirements and models that prevent a proper (re) use of requirements in the whole lifecycle. Furthermore this situation is becoming a major challenge in critical systems since a complete verification and validation must be ensured. In this light the Open Services for Lifecycle Collaboration (OSLC) initiative pursues the creation of specifications to unify under a common and shared data model (the Resource Description Framework-RDF) all pieces of information and data involved in the development of a system. This initiative applies the principles of Semantic Web and the Linked Data initiative to provide a web standards-based environment for systems development. More specifically, OSLC defines the Requirements Management specification to deliver a common environment for managing and exchanging requirements. In this sense the on-going work implementing this specification and an example of modeling a controlled vocabulary for requirements management under the principles of the Linked Data and OSLC specifications is provided to demonstrate the capabilities and intentions of both initiatives. Finally some discussion, conclusions and future directions are also presented.
