General Objective: The main objective of this project is the analysis, generation and publication of Linked Data from the libraries of the participating institutions, as well as the design and implementation of a framework that allows unified access centered on the user, anywhere. and at any time.
To achieve this, the project will create a platform, based on Web services technologies, Semantic Web, integration of information based on ontologies and libraries that allow creating friendly interfaces.
Specific objectives:
Objective 1. Development of a platform that supports applications based on bibliographic information, as well as automating the process of generating semantic information.
- Analysis of the different data sources existing in the libraries of the participating universities.
- Analysis and selection of existing ontological models in the bibliographic domain.
- Generation and publication of Linked Data of the libraries participating in the project.
- Linking between the data generated in the libraries participating in the project.
- Linking with external repositories of the Data Web.
- Execution of federated queries between the Linked Data repositories created
Objective 2. Development of a client application that allows unified access to the platform of each participating library. The application will provide the following functionalities:
- Access to services and resources using Web interfaces. The resources and services will be: Practical information based on the context: books, authors, etc.
- Services based on the context of the users such as: faculty, career, cycle, etc.
- Direct access to semantic repositories through query languages.
Objective 3. Allow the storage of historical information of the queries executed in each library. This will allow, in a second stage of the project, to carry out information analysis, as well as the execution of recommendation algorithms.
