Integration and Open Access System Based on Semantic Technologies: A Use Case Applied to University Research Facet

The aim of this work is the development of an information system that, by integrating data from different sources and applying semantic technologies, makes it possible to publish and share with society the scientific production generated in the university environment, promoting its dissemination and thus contributing to the knowledge society, among others. In practice, this is the implementation of a CRIS (current research information system). This CRIS presents advanced features. On one hand it applies semantic technologies, providing a query service through a SPARQL Point, besides the reuse of shared data by exporting them in different formats. In this sense, it is also based on a European ontology or semantic standard such as CERIF, which facilitates its portability. On the other hand, CRIS also presents an alternative to the lack of a single data system by allowing data from different sources to be integrated and managed.
