Navigating through the Linking Open Data cloud datasets: Preliminary ideas of a visual search tool based on its defined domains

The current increase in the publication of “Open Access” data has greatly facilitated the emergence of initiatives to provide users with information from different areas of expertise. Particularly, DBPedia has attracted the interest from several organizations and entities involved in the hosting, processing and display of large amounts of data, willing to openly share them. However, the vast amount of information presented today makes it necessary to provide more interfaces that facilitate this task, taking into account the peculiarities of this technology. The following article presents the results of evaluation of a visual interface prototype that facilitates search, display and visualization of organizations classified by their domain in the Linking Open Data (LOD) cloud.
