A Methodological Approach on Linked Open Data Production: The Publicspending.Gr Project

Web technologies have evolved to effectively support the creation and existence of Linked Open Data (LOD) within the web. However, the production and mass consumption of LOD have been a matter of debate over methodologies, best practices, and technologies that should be employed. Particularly in the case of government LOD, the production and publication lifecycle needs to follow a methodological approach. The paper presents publicspending.gr, a 5-star LOD project focusing on Greek Public spending as a case of LD application that is developed according to a methodological approach, following a specific Linked Data Production Life Cycle.
