Modern Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) require very accurate and up-to-date knowledge resources, such as databases and knowledge bases, providing information about real world entities (e.g. locations, persons, events) which can guarantee that results of automatic processing can be trusted enough for decision making processes. The solutions employed so far to guarantee for their quality mainly rely on the automatic application of integrity constraints for databases and consistency checks for knowledge bases. In order to achieve a higher accuracy, there is also a recent trend in complementing automatic with manual checks, via crowdsourcing techniques. This paper presents a methodology and an evaluation framework, based on the definition and application of a semantic schema, which analyses the (sometimes hidden) semantics of the terms in the entity descriptions from a knowledge resource, and allows assessing its quality and the identification of those potentially faulty parts which would benefit from manual checks. The approach is particularly suited for schema-less resources, i.e. resources in which entities do not follow a unique and explicit schema. Our evaluation showed promising results.

“…Despite the availability of Geospatial Data Abstraction Library (GDAL) standards for raster and vector data formats, there is no compliance enforced; this is because of the use of geographically connected fields but open and fragmented standards. GeoNames, for example, includes 663 characteristics in 9 classes (Maltese & Farazi, 2013) while OSM data has its geographic information for features packaged individually as tags, ordered as a list of ways defining lines, points and relations for all entity elements (Patriarca et al, 2019). It also includes land use and land cover data.…”

Toponyms presented in web gazetteers have various applications such as land registration, defense mapping, cultural heritage, memory inscription and topographic representation. This study aims to demonstrate the application of geographical ontology in the study of toponyms in a multilingual space of individual entities or classes in gazetteers and user interactions. The display of toponyms on the web platforms must be appealing and easy to read for ease of comparison of entities. To capture user attention, processes that users are familiar with and knowledge systems for geographic information retrieval must be used to efficiently present toponym information. In reviewing the user experience, the gazetteer service was evaluated based on the language, the country, acquisition, platform, browser, and operating system. Content, type, location, regularity, extinction, and ethnographic associations in Kenya were integrated as part of mappings to form an integrative approach in dealing with open data. The study’s findings show that users’ perceptions of toponym gazetteer services are influenced by the visual features and information given. The results of this study may help in the future design of gazetteer entities that incorporate toponymy aspects in dealing with the increasing complexity of searching for entities and retrieval geographic information gazetteer.

“…Discovery: The full potential of Linked Data will be revealed with the discovery of related datasets and joint points for interlinking. In this direction, we identified Publicspending.gr and Geonames.org (Maltese, V., & Farazi, F., 2013) as suitable candidates. Linking to the first allows the user to find more information about payments and decisions and linking to the second adds a geographical dimension to the dataset.…”

Business data is high-value data and has a high reuse potential both in national and in cross-border settings. National business registers, tax authorities and others are currently holding such data. Opening up basic business data and making it available in machine-readable formats will definitely increase its reuse. In this work, the authors present, following a stepwise approach, how this can be achieved. They used a part of the dataset of legal entities, comprising approximately 29000 entities, maintained by the Greek Tax Authorities and described it with the Registered Organization vocabulary (RegOrg). The authors followed a publishing and consumption pipeline and made this data available as Linked Open Government Data (LOGD). They conclude this work with a number of findings and lessons learnt which can be useful for base registers and other owners of authoritative data that are considering moving towards LOGD.
