LOTED

Linked Open Tenders Electronic Daily

The world of procurements and eProcurement generates daily large amounts of data, that represent knowledge of great economical value both for individual companies and for public organisations wishing to achieve a better understanding of a given market. However, such data remains diffcult to explore and analyze as it is being kept isolated from other sources of knowledge, in dedicated systems. LOTED is an ongoing work on extracting and linking data from the European Tenders Electronic Daily system, which publishes approximately 1,500 tenders five times a week. Information is dynamically extracted and linked to external datasets, and links are created to enrich the original data, introducing new perspectives to its analysis.
