Abstract

Purpose: The research aims to manage knowledge on ethnic groups and Linked Open Data (LOD).

Methodology: Information on ethnic groups in Vietnam is gathered from online sources. The Vietnamese ethnic group's knowledge system is then managed to provide an overview and facilitate further study. Ontology and Reconciliation linking data using Open Refine and RDF extension are used to connect the knowledge system to other online resources.

Findings: The results demonstrate that 1) the creation of SPARQL and RDF query language enables users to retrieve information from any database or data source mapped to RDF. The standardized SPARQL allows users to focus on their queries instead of organizing databases; 2) the selection of URIs and terminology for resource classification and definition enables interaction with resource instances on the network using specific protocols and standardized syntax.

Applications of this study: The research findings serve as a reference for government agencies, institutions, and individuals interested in learning about Vietnamese ethnic groups. Given Vietnam's ongoing digital transformation, where official information on ethnic groups is often limited, this research serves as a model for digital transformation in government agencies.
