Linking data for public administrations

Published:01 September 2010Publication History

ABSTRACT

Private and public enterprises suffer from the exponential growth of new data, becoming available both internally within their organizations as externally on the web. Existing databases and applications are not set up to be using these increasingly complex data sources. We present a novel approach designed for a tax agency for gaining much more powerful and sustainable access to their data sources by linking them internally as well externally with the Web of Data. The flexible and rapid linking of our approach avoids costly mergers or consolidation of databases or in-depth re-programming of data applications. In this paper we describe a prototype which effectively links organizational data about persons, organizations, buildings and locations that are spread over different databases, which enables the inclusion and the connection with the Web of Data.
