Addressing Digital Transformation in Universities: How to Effectively Govern, Trust and Value Institutional Data

Abstract

In facing digital transformation challenges, universities need to set up their data governance strategies. They include effective solutions to trace and value data about key assets (such as researchers, publications, courses, research projects) scattered across multiple legacy IT systems. As part of an overall solution to deal with the unavoidable data fragmentation and diversity, we provide the complete code of a simple and very efficient framework that can be employed by universities to develop their own knowledge graph, offering a comprehensive picture of the strategic data of the university, such that it can be consistently exploited by different digital services.
