Experiences from the Design and Development of an Institutional Linked Open Data Portal

Linked Open Data initiative, based on the open publication of datasets, provides new mechanisms for the development of novel services, and through rigorous data analysis new indicators for government strategies. We contribute with a linked open portal to integrate curriculum data of our academic staff. We analyse our experience in the creation of the semantic model and we include some cases of data exploitation. The main contributions are a better management of curricular data, the quality and efficiency of exploitation tasks, and the transparency, dissemination and collaboration with other researchers and with the citizenship.
