Marco de trabajo basado en los datos enlazados para la interoperabilidad semántica en el protocolo OAI-PMH

Scientific journals are currently one of the channels of communication science that scientists regularly use to socialize their results. In the last decade, scientific journals, digital repositories and online catalogs have provided open access to all its contents. In addition have been designed protocols for the exchange of metadata as an efficient solution to interoperability between these systems. OAI-PMH is an interoperability framework based on metadata harvesting, one of the most widely used today. However, this protocol is designed to ensure interoperability at a syntactic level, with very limited options for querying over data providers. This thesis presents a semantic interoperability framework based on the linked data principles for bibliographic metadata disseminated by the OAI-PMH protocol. Linked data refers to a set of principles and best practices for publishing and linking structured data on the web. The framework is composed by of two major components: (1) methodological guidelines for publishing bibliographic metadata as linked data and (2) a platform that implements the proposed methodological guidelines. The methodological guidelines follow an iterative and incremental approach. The proposed platform automates the activities proposed in the methodological guidelines. Both methodological guidelines and platform were applied in a case study for publishing bibliographic metadata as linked data. A sample of nine Cuban journals that support the OAI-PMH protocol was selected. The results obtained demonstrate the applicability of the proposed framework
