INCREASING GOVERNMENT TRANSPARENCY BY TRANSFORMING OPEN GOVERNMENT DATA INTO LINKED DATA

Abstract

Since its inception, the Web has undergone constant evolution in order to improve itself as a mean of global communication and information sharing. Open Government Data are increasingly being published on the Web, contributing to the transparency and the reusability of public data. At the same time, the use of Linked Data has been increasing in recent years, enabling the development of better and smarter applications. In this context, this paper proposes the publication of Open Government Data using the Linked Data practices, by creating a data set of Brazilian politicians with information collected from different sources.
