Abstract:
Since the creation of the World Wide Web and the emergence of search engines, the web has become the major media for researchers to explore and share data. In 2009, Berners-Lee started a movement to encourage researchers to put their data on the web. He wanted researchers to open and link their data to the public to increase the use and reuse of content. However, the lack of proper mechanisms to assist researchers publishing data on the web has prevented them from effective sharing. We create mechanisms to help researchers open and link their data using the integrated Rule- Oriented Data System, iRODS. iRODS is a data grid software that has been widely used to manage research data in largescale European, American, and Asian national research projects, such as at the "Bibliothèque Nationale de France". iRODS comes with a business rule engine which allows researchers to create rules to manage and process data. In this paper, we show how to configure iRODS rules to transmit and open linked data in a distributed data cloud setting.
