Explainable artificial intelligence (XAI): how open data can help understand algorithms
The increasing adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) systems in critical areas such as public administration, financial services or healthcare has brought the need for algorithmic transparency to the forefront. The complexity of AI models used to make decisions such as granting credit or making a…
The role of open data in the evolution of SLM and LLM: efficiency vs. power
Language models are at the epicentre of the technological paradigm shift that has been taking place in generative artificial intelligence (AI) over the last two years. From the tools with which we interact in natural language to generate text, images or videos and which we use to create creativ…
SLM, LLM, RAG and Fine-tuning: Pillars of Modern Generative AI
In the fast-paced world of Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI), there are several concepts that have become fundamental to understanding and harnessing the potential of this technology. Today we focus on four: Small Language Models(SLM), Large Language Models(LLM), Retrieval Augmented Generation…
Hercules-ASIO Initiative. Integration, publication and consultation of linked open research data.
The Hercules initiative was launched in November 2017, through an agreement between the University of Murcia and the Ministry of Economy, Industry and Competitiveness, with the aim of developing a Research Management System (RMS) based on semantic open data that offers a global view of the research…
Citizen science and open data to help society
Some time ago we talked about the power of citizen science to generate open data. As we explained then, citizen science initiatives seek to encourage citizens to contribute to various scientific activities and research through their efforts, knowledge, tools and resources.
The participatory n…
Open data: the great allies to eradicate inequality
Is it possible to find in the data the necessary help to solve the real problems that our society faces? While it is true that data alone cannot be transformed into food for the most disadvantaged, nor can it make weapons disappear in conflict zones or inequalities in the world, they are very useful…
How open data can help in the refugee crisis
According to the United Nations Agency for Refugees (UNHCR), we are currently witnessing the highest levels of displacement of people registered in recent history.

Open data as a tool to reduce inequalities
The public sector is not only a great provider of open data, but also one of its main users. Open data facilitates contact and direct communication between governments and citizens. This can drive more efficient and effective public policies.
Among other areas, open data has great potential to devel…
Pubby and LODI, opening linked data to humans
An important part of the data which is published on the Semantic Web, where resources are identified by URIs, is stored within triple store databases. This data can only be accessed through SPARQL queries via a SPARQL endpoint.
Moreover, the URIs used, usually designed in a pattern, in most of the d…
