Publicação e consumo de dados abertos conectados acadêmicos

Abstract

Nowadays, the Web may be considered an adequate ecosystem for publication and open data consumption . Published datasets may provide open and, additionally, linked data, which results in the use of semantic technologies such as recommended vocabularies and their connection with other datasets. Taking into account a data scope from the Academic Unit of Informatics at IFPB-Campus João Pessoa, a set of open and linked data was created and published for consumption. This dataset includes information obtained from the Lattes Platform and from some internal data regarding teachers, projects, courses and areas of expertise. Source data went through a process of extraction, transformation and load based on the use of an ontology, named “Ontology for University and Academic Institutions” (OUAI), which was developed in this work. As a result, the dataset was published in the RDF model and was made available for consumption through an endpoint. Based ondata consumption, the OpenUAI application was developed as a means to provide data visualizations on the unit activities and people. This work presents the process regarding the data publication and consumption, the ontology created to help matters, the OpenUAI application and some results obtained with the performed evaluation.
