Abstract

An important challenge in centres of higher education is the use of Linked Data strategy to connect currently existing multiple information systems. These information systems are usually independent from one another, and the ability to obtain information by connecting different sources of data involves, in most cases, unacceptable costs and effort. In this work, we have developed a platform based on Linked Data that permits the interoperability of different sources of data, both internal as well as external. This interoperability is achieved by 1) the use of higher education ontologies, and 2) the use of a process that begins with the analysis of the data sources to be connected, followed by mapping of the closest ontologies, and ends with the generation and publication of data in valid formats for Linked Data. The final product permits stakeholders inside and outside the university to be able to make queries of two or more datasets in different information systems at the same time.
