This project proposes to set up practices and framework for releasing public data in the Linked Open Data for the State of Kerala. In this regard, we propose to establish an Open Data Laboratory at Government College Kasaragod.

Further, the project envisages multidisciplinary collaboration among faculty members in India and abroad to work towards open data practices and assist interested government departments and industries to convert their data into Linked Open Data (LOD) format.
