Geolinked Open Data for the Municipality of Catania

Linked Open Data (LOD) is reaching significant adoption in Public Administrations (PAs), where it is often required to be connected to existing platforms, such as GIS-based data management. Bearing on previous experience with the pioneering data.cnr.it, through Semantic Scout, as well as Italian DigitPA agency recommendations for LOD in Italian PA, we are working on the extraction, publication, and exploitation of data from the Geographic Information System of the Municipality of Catania, referred to as SIT ("Sistema Informativo Territoriale"). This paper describes the results and lessons learnt from the first campaign, aiming at analysing, reengineering, linking, and formalizing the Shape-based geo-data from the SIT.
