Paper on renovating public sector information by enabling linked data and analytics accepted for publication at the Information Systems Frontiers

A joint paper of UBITECH with the National Technical University of Athens (Greece), the University of Bonn and Fraunhofer FOKUS has been accepted for publication at the Information Systems Frontiers – Springer Journal of Research and Innovation. In this paper, entitled “Challenges and opportunities in renovating public sector information by enabling linked data and analytics”, Ms. Eleni Fotopoulou, Dr. Anastasios Zafeiropoulos and their co-authors have investigated the challenges of linked data tools adoption from the Public Sector organizations in view of the current state-of-the-art of linked data technologies and presented a linked data technical framework that aims to hide the underlying complexity of the SPARQL syntax while preserving or even strengthening the power of the linked data paradigm. This framework can be used in order to minimize the required adoption effort of linked data technology and offer more options and flexibility to the end-users of Public Sector Information. It could be argued that the power provided through the combination of linked data technologies and analytics can facilitate the Public Sector to realise advanced analysis and gain insights in the context of policy formulation.
