Abstract:
Open data is targeted for public use and usually released by the public sector, e.g., by the government. Its utilization, however, is currently restricted to programmers with knowledge on programming and processing of different data formats. The actual targeted end-users are simply lacking sufficient knowledge and technical skills. End-user tools for data visualization and browsing are available, but customization of the presented data and interaction patterns are limited. The users are unlikely to be able to exploit their creativity and meet their personal needs. In this paper, an on-going work on enabling open data sets for personal Web tasking is presented. Personal Web Tasking aims at automation of user-centric Web interactions. Work presented in this paper concentrates on automation of open data queries defined by the end-users.
