Lifting data to semantic formats

Abstract

The semantic web can offer the world of data new ways to use and see the information. However, the majority of data do not use semantic technologies. This thesis tries to explore and identify problems that occur during the transition of data to semantic technologies. I will lift three different cases: one using a set of public data from Norway; one using data from Vinmonopolet.no; and lastly one regarding the computer game League of Legends. The first two use several datasets while the last one only uses data from the game. When these data are in semantic technologies, I will show how to extract information from these cases. I will share the process of lifting, discuss what I did right and wrong in the cases and propose a method for lifting other data to these technologies.
