Simplified minimalistic workflows for the publication of Linked Open Data
The LINDa project aims to simplify the publication of linked open data for non-experts, particularly targeting small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). It provides a set of tools for transforming, enriching, and publishing data while addressing shortcomings of existing solutions, such as user interface accessibility and integration with ontology services. The project is supported by a grant and aims to enhance the reach and usability of linked open data.

Editor's Notes
- #3 - Linked Data is still an academic discipline and very hard for lay users to fathom. Furthermore, With the current state of the art the use of linked data concepts is costly and gives slow ROI as the learning curve is high. This needs to change by creating useful tools and tool chains that abstract its compelxity This is the motivation of linDA to bring lay…. And help expand…
- #4 - The LinDA project will create a set of tools combined into a distinct workflow to help with the seamless renovation of PSI und private data . - By renovation we mean transforming data and semanticallly enriching it to be able to unlock ist potential. The workflow consists of the following steps 1. semantically enriching your data, 2. Publishing your data 3. Linking and querying your data 4. Visualising and analysing your data. Today we will focus on transforamtion as this is the corner stone for our workflow. But first lets look at a busniess scenario where the linda tools bring added value.
- #5 The following questions may arise: How is OTC liberalisation related with healthcare expenditures and self-medicatiion? Is the economical and political stability of a country somehow related to the OTC liberalisation and/or sales? What are the trends in drug consumptions among different population groups? Which countries will benefit most from OTC liberalisation
- #8 The focus of this presentation is on the transformation of structured and sem-strucured data into Linked Data. The transformation lays the ground work for the followin steps in the presented workflow (visualisation, analytics, query etc.) As in any project we conducted a SotA analysis that yielded the following results. Emphasis lies on the existence of a simple intuitive UI targeted at non-Linked Data experts. Reconcilation: is resolving a literal (e.g. Greece) to a unique linked data resource, such as http://dbpedia.org/resource/Greece
- #10 The UI is designed to give the user a view over his/her data along each step of the transformation together with useful and simple guidance. In the case of csv or maybe excel files: first we upload the data then we select the columns containing the data we want to transform then we start descibing the data by using drag/drop mechanisms to aid in constructing a unique subject URI to identify the triples.
- #11 As a next step we consult our Oracle Service to identify the most relevant and best matching classes in an ontology. With this ontology finding technique we aid the user in one simple step to automatically and effortlessly descibe his/her data using public ontologies.
- #12 In order to enhance the RDF even more we first try to automatically reconcile each column to DB pedia resource (more linked data resouce sites will be added soon (e.g. wikidata, geoNames,etc)) while giving the user the option to select the best match out of a ranked list. With this approach we aid the user in getting closer to 5* linked data For the columns that are left unreconciled auto type guessing is performed.
- #13 The final step in describing the data is the semantic enrichment. Here we again aid the user in finding adequate ontologies to describe the dataset, i.e what content is in each row. In this case the dataset is a listing of a companies employees.
