Discovering domain-specific public SPARQL endpoints

Abstract

A significant portion of the LOD cloud consists of Life Sciences data sets, which together contain billions of clinical facts that interlink to form a "Web of Clinical Data". However, tools for new publishers to find relevant datasets that could potentially be linked to are missing, particularly in specialist domain-specific settings. Based on a set of domain-specific keywords extracted from a local dataset, this paper proposes methods to automatically identify relevant public SPARQL endpoints from a list of candidates.
