How to capture new insights by integrating data from
multiple heterogeneous data sources in the STI domain?
SMS Platform
Linked (Open) Data
A set of best practices for publishing data on the Web.Follows 4 simple principles:
a. Use URIs as names (identifiers) for conceptual things.b. Use HTTP URIs so that users can look up (dereference) those names.c. When someone looks up a URI, provide useful information, using the
open standards.d. Include links to other URIs, so that users can discover more things.

Example Use Case
Adaptive Delineation of Functional Urban Areas (FUAs)
Functional Urban Areas (FUAs)
• defined by OECD in collaboration with EC/Eurostat• consider factors beyond the predefined city boundaries to
better reflect the economic geography of where people live and work• population• area• GDP• environment (CO2 emissions and air pollution)• labour market (employment and unemployment growth) • innovation (patent intensity)• urban form and territorial organization
FUA: Example

Conclusion
SMS platform aims to produce much richer data to be used in social research – through the integration of heterogeneous datasets ranging from tabular statistical data to unstructured data found on the Web...
