Abstract

With the LODmilla browser, we try to support linked data exploration in a generic way learning from the 20 years of web browser evolution as well as from scholars’ opinions who try to use it as a research exploration tool. In this paper, generic functions for linked open data (LOD) browsing are presented, and it is also explained what kind of information search tactics they enable with linked data describing publications. Furthermore, LODmilla also supports the sharing of graph views and the correction of LOD data during browsing.
