Abstract

The traditional World Wide Web (WWW) is built upon a set of documents which are interconnected through the use of hypertext links. Those documents are written in HTML, a language used to layout information for human consumption. However, web browsers and other software tools are not aware of the data contained in HTML documents, which reduces the possibility to processing that data. Linked Data is a relatively new set of principles to share information on the WWW, where not only are documents published and interconnected, but also the data they contain, creating new possibilities for the processing, integration and discovery of information by both humans and applications. With the use of Linked Data, the link that joins two entities is typed, providing information about the relationship between those two elements. FishDelish is a Linked Data project that exposes a large portion of FishBase, one of the most popular and comprehensive fish species databases available on the Web, as Linked Data. The main purpose of this dissertation is the generation of RDF links to connect fish species data contained in the FishDelish dataset to other resources available in the Linked Data cloud, and expose some of the benefits of those links with the development of an application; trying to find practical and effective solutions to the challenges that represent this integration. 5
