Empowering Sustainability Through Web-Based Information Sharing: Showcasing Campus Sustainability Initiatives Through Linked Data on the Web
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: The San Diego State University (SDSU) Library recently undertook a collaborative linked data project aimed to improve the discoverability of the university’s sustainability efforts by integrating building data and sustainability features into Wikidata, an open-access knowledge base. Data were collected from the SDSU Facilities Department and the Office of Energy and Sustainability (OE&S) to create and enhance Wikidata entries for 119 campus buildings. This involved structuring unstructured data, developing a Wikidata data model, and linking building information to Google Maps. The information was then integrated into Wikidata, making it easier for researchers, students, and the public to explore and learn about sustainability initiatives and campus infrastructure.
