CTIC Foundation (Centre for the Development of Information and Communication Technologies in Asturias) is a non-profit private organization. It was constituted in 2004 and is an active agent in the industrial development of Asturias, performing technological transferring and encouraging companies to participate in R&D projects. CTIC hosts the Spanish W3C Office and has led the W3C e-Government Activity and other Open Government Initiatives in international contexts. Furthermore, CTIC embraces W3C recommendations and participates in various W3C working groups. We understand technology as a tool for business competitiveness and territories. Our challenge is to get people to be more creative and innovative, companies to be more competitive, institutions to be more efficient and territories to be socially and economically sustainable. Our objective is to improve your business competitiveness. We have technological prototypes which are made available to companies to build new business models. CTIC has carried out more than 30 projects related to open data using W3C Semantic Web and Linked Data standards. CTIC has also produced some relevant technology, such as the Linked Data validator, Vapour (implements W3C best practices to publish reusable open data), Parrot (automatically generates documentation from OWL/RDF vocabularies and DCAT datasets) and Tabels (facilitates the adoption of Linked Data practices to make publicly available research-relevant datasets). In addition, CTIC has worked with local SMEs to apply computer vision technologies to different problems: from analysis of clouds to emotional reactions recognition. CTIC has extensive experiencein the policy design of OpenGovernment and Open Data bothnationally and internationally. Our vision of the future, knowledge and experience is a guarantee for us to work with governments to define policies for economic development, innovation and technology.
