Abstract
Information dissemination has always been in the focus of
the computer science research community. New ways of
information and data representation, storage, querying and
visualization are being constantly developed and upgraded.
Linked Open Data represents a concept which offers a
comprehensive solution for information and data
dissemination. It accomplishes this by aiming towards two
things: to represent data in an open, machine-readable
format, and to interlink data from heterogeneous
repositories in a way which allows a large variety of usage
scenarios for both humans and machines. On the other hand,
health also represents a domain of high interest in our
research community. In order to provide use-case scenarios
for publishing and using healthcare data in Macedonia, we
generated a dataset of five-star Linked Open Data, based on
the data provided and published by the Health Insurance
Fund (HIF) of the Republic of Macedonia. In this paper, we
describe the process of transforming the data available at
the HIF website, into data published in an open format, and
interlinked with data from the DrugBank domain.
