Abstract
The centralization of public data and the adoption of the open data concept are directions on which governors have begun to turn their attention more and more. Unfortunately, although the efforts in this direction are increasing, the Romanian public authorities offer access mainly to semi-structured or unstructured data, which only makes their use more difficult. Only for data on museums and collections in Romania, two web portals are available, a data set in CSV format and a series of other data sets structured according to the LIDO XML Schema. In order to use these data sets, we had to consolidate them using both specific techniques for browsing and pre-processing them, and using the eCHO framework, through which the digital representation of classified cultural assets was migrated to Linked Data. Finally, the data resulting from the consolidation process was used to develop a web application through which users can more easily view this information and, based on it, create their own tourist routes directly from the application.
