Abstract

Linked Open University Data applies semantic web and linked data technology to university data scenario, aiming at building interlinked semantic data around university information, providing possibility for unified inner- and inter- school information query and comparison. This paper proposes a general process of building linked open university data, with procedures covering choosing datasets and vocabularies, collecting and processing data, building RDF and interlink, etc. Tsinghua University Open Data is used to demonstrate the process. Tsinghua University consist of 5 well-formed, interconnected datasets, with a number of interesting applications has been built on top of them. Finally, remarkable points about data collecting and processing is discussed.
