In this work we present a framework to publish biodiversity data from Argentinian Patagonia as Linked Open Data (LOD). These datasets contains information of biological species (mammals, plants, parasites, among others) have been collected by researchers from the Centro Nacional Patag´onico (CENPAT), and have initially been made available as Darwin Core Archive (DwC-A) files. We introduce and detaila transformation process and explain how to access and exploit them, promoting integration with other repositories.
