Abstract

There is an increasing amount of information contained in the knowledge bases belonging to the Linked Open Data (LOD) cloud corresponding to different domains, the exploitation of this information is limited by the ways in which it can be visualized, requiring new forms of visualization so that such information can be understood and used. Augmented Reality (AR) is a technology that allows the interaction of information with the user and also has a significant growth thanks to the proliferation of mobile devices with better processing. This work proposes an architecture for the integration of the datasets belonging to the LOD cloud with AR in an application for mobile devices, which makes it possible for information retrieved from the SPARQL-based query execution on RDF datasets, to be visualized in a way that allows improving the interaction between the user and data retrieved for increasing the understanding of the information shown.
