Dashboards for management of use of digital libraries on linked data

Abstract:

This paper provides a process for publishing scorecards to evaluate the use of digital libraries using Linked Data technologies. Currently, the published scorecard indicators are dispersed, which makes difficult the reuse and easy combination with other indicators to make better decisions. The development of scorecards using Linked Data will help to define better indicators to monitor de use of digital libraries determining the progress level towards the objectives. Moreover, the indicators can be enriched with external information. This work includes a study of current uses of Linked Data in digital libraries, and the procedures for generating and publishing scorecards in the Semantic Web. The research results have been tested with metadata for a specific type of digital library, a digital open access journal. New features have been included without affecting existing data structures.
