Submissions for the IEEE Intelligent Systems Special Issue on Linked Open Government Data is now 21 Sep 2011!

We seek original work around a number of challenges:

  • Interoperability: Reusing OGD data is still difficult because OGD is typically published in various nonstandard formats and encoded using isolated vocabularies.
  • Tractability: It is hard to find, manage, and interconnect OGD that is distributed across independent agencies.
  • Scalability: The cost of processing and analyzing OGD can be prohibitively high due to the huge volume of existing OGD and the nontrivial cost of processing individual OGD datasets.
  • Open web and society: OGD data can be reused in serendipitous ways, and its interaction with the social web could increase its value.
