Data Highway

Creation of a Linked Open Data platform for the realization of innovative applications for tourism and cultural promotion

The Data-Highway project aims to increase the competitiveness of businesses in the Tourism and Cultural Heritage sectors in Sicily through the use of Open Data and innovative solutions.

It envisions an infrastructure for the creation, access, sharing, and reuse of Open Data, with digital archives in a secure cloud environment, promoting Open Innovation, Digital Economy, and Knowledge Society.

The platform will be validated in the laboratory and demonstrated in an industrial environment through five predefined use cases and others selected during the project, using advanced technologies such as NGSI-LD, AI e LLM (Large Language Models).

How it works

Data collection

In the first stage, data are collected for processing and cataloging.

Data analysis

The second stage involves understanding the data, from disparate sources, in order to remove duplicates and correlate them.

Access to data

Third and final stage in which Linked Open Data is made accessible.

What is Linked Open Data?

Open linked data has improved lives by enabling faster and more integrated access to information, fostering innovations, transparency and data-driven decisions.

Linked data is a methodology for publishing and linking structured information on the Web so that it can be easily interpreted and used by other applications and services. They use standard technologies such as NGSI-LD and Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) to uniquely identify resources and define relationships among them. The goal of linked data is to create a web of interconnected data, improving accessibility, integration and discovery of information.
