ABSTRACT
Cuba is carrying out an intensive introduction of the ICT in the society, developing and deploying information systems to increase the efficiency of several economic and social sectors. In this context, several government institutions are publishing open data; however, these data are published using diverse formats and standards, without explicit relations between them, with high dispersion and low data integration capabilities. In this paper, we state some reflections about the use of the linked open data in Cuba and some challenges affecting the massive adoption of them in the country. We point out that the openness of the linked open data in Cuba requires the use of adequate mechanisms related to an updated technological infrastructure, an adequate legal framework and an adequate synergy between the producers and consumers of the linked open data in the country.
