Introduction

  • A generic framework named as Linked Open Publications Data Framework (LOPDF)

  • Architecture and data extraction process of the LOPDF framework

  • An algorithm that we developed to process the huge amount of scientific publications data from different publisher specific sources

  • Quantitative as well as qualitative analysis of extracted datasets to prove the accuracy and performance of the LOPDF framework

  • Sample queries and their results through the SPARQL Endpoint (as a proof of qualitative and quantitative aspects of extracted datasets)
