Semantic enrichment for open data availability: theory and practice

Abstract

Objective: Present the formalization process necessary to make open data available in the context of the linked open data, using, in this case, data that are in the context of scientific research. Methods: For the elaboration of the study, tree datasets were selected, two available on the Dados Abertos CAPES portal and the third consists of data from the Open Researcher and Contributor ID (ORCID). As methodological procedures were used the bibliographic research for theoretical-conceptual basis of the study and the descriptive research to explore and provide information about the process of enrichment of open data. Results: It presents as a result the description of the process required to make available a rich data set, from the modeling and structuring, ready for tool conversion and recovery. Conclusions: From this study, it is possible to visualize how the process of semantic data enrichment occurs in the context of linked open data, encompassing the selection, analysis, processing and preparation for availability, use and reuse.
