Abstract

Recently, Thailand has started initiating the Thailand open government data project that continuously triggers an increment in the number of open datasets. Open data is valuable when the data is reused, shared and integrated. Converting the existing datasets to the RDF format can increase the values of these datasets. In this paper, we present the architecture and processes for RDF dataset management for Data.go.th based on OAM Framework which supports the entire processes: RDF data publishing, and data querying. Our approach is different from other LOD platforms in that users do not require the knowledge of RDF and SPARQL. Our platform would facilitate data publishing and querying process for novice users and make it easier to use. This framework provides a common ontology-based search interface and RESTFul APIs constructed automatically for the datasets when they are published. With the provided services for the datasets, it can simplify the user’s tasks in publishing datasets and create applications for the datasets. In consuming the RDF data, we implemented a sample mash-up application which accessed the published weather and reservoir datasets from the Data.go.th website via RESTful APIs.
