Abstract

The Linked Data approach, based on principles defined back in 2006 and best practices for publishing and connecting structured data on the Web elaborated by ICT experts, can play an important role in the domain of semantic interoperability of government services. Therefore, this paper explores the technical aspects and challenges of implementation of the revised European Directive on the Public Sector Information (2013/37/EU) emphasizing the role of Linked Data approach for improved interoperability and re-use. Referring to state-of-the-art approaches in EU member states, the paper proposes a framework for implementing the PSI Directive in Serbia.
