Linked open data infrastructure for public sector information: Example from Serbia

Abstract

To improve transparency and public service delivery, national, regional and local governmental bodies need to consider new strategies to openning up their data. We approach the problem of creating a more scalable and interoperable Open Government Data ecosystem by considering the latest advances in Linked Open Data. More precisely, we showcase how an integrated and coherent collection of aligned state of the art software tools, the LOD2 Stack, can be used to deliver trusted, open and rich collections of interlinked datasets to the public. The usage of the Tool Stack is demonstrated on the case of one of the largest data providers in the Republic of Serbia - its Statistical Office.
