Semantic Web, Linked Data, Open Data
The Semantic Web was designed to expand the current Web we know, enabling the large amount of data available on the Web to be processed not only by humans, but also by machines. Along this process, the Semantic Web gathered new technologies which allow the modeling and description of data embebbed with semantic definitions. In addition to the adoption of these technologies, the concept of Linked Data emerged. Linked Data is a set of principles and techniques created with the purpose of interlinking data from distinct data sources. On the other hand, the Open Data Movement has encouraged data publishing on the Web, without restrictions from copyright, patents or other mechanisms of control. The combination of Semantic Web technologies, the principles of Linked Data and the Open Data movement has played a major role in data publishing. In this context, this work proposes: I) the creation of an interlinked open dataset, available in RDF and consistent with the principles of Linked Data, about the 27 editions of the Brazilian Symposium on Databases; II) the creation of a SPARQL Endpoint available to be queried using SPARQL; III) The development of a Web application with the purpose of providing more user-friendly views about this dataset.
