Linking Open Data Triplification Challenge 2009 September 1, 2009

We'd like to draw your attention to the second edition of the Linking Open Data Triplification Challenge, again collocated with the I-Semantics [1] conference.

Note that submission deadline is 9 August 2009.

With the recent uptake of structured data/RDF by major players such as Google the motivation for exposing relational data and other structured data sources on the Web entered a new stage. We encourage participants to publish existing structured (relational) representations, which are already backing most of the existing Web sites and demonstrate useful and usable applications on top of it.

The challenge awards attractive prices (MacBook Air or 1000€, and other prices) to the most innovative and promising triplifications. We thank our sponsors Ontos AG [2] and Punkt.NetServices [3] for supporting this challenge.

Michael Hausenblas, on behalf of the Organizing Committee
