LinkedQR: Improving Tourism Experience through Linked Data and QR Codes

Abstract

Since Sir Tim Berners-Lee announced the best practices to publish semantic data through the Web, Linked Data principles have been introduced into a wide variety of application domains. This usage of Linked Data eases the enrichment of offered data in a grade that the semantic data that not applies the Linked Data principles never would achieve. In this paper, we present LinkedQR, a tool to improve the collaboration between QR codes and Linked Data; and a case study based on the tourism sector located into an art gallery.
