CALL FOR PAPERS
for the 1st Workshop on
* LINKED DATA QUALITY *
(LDQ 2014)
http://ldq.semanticmultimedia.org/
in conjunction with SEMANTiCS 2014
September 2nd, 2014 - Leipzig Germany
*** Extended Paper submission deadline: July 18th, 2014 ***
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Since the start of the Linked Open Data Cloud, we have seen an unprecedented
volume of structured data published on the web, in most cases as RDF and Linked
(Open) Data. The quality of these datasets can hardly be better than the
original data source. We see datasets originating from crowdsourced sources
like Wikipedia and OpenStreetMap and highly curated sources e.g. from the
library domain. Quality is of course fitness for use, thus DBpedia currently
can be appropriate for a simple end-user application but could never be used in
the medical domain for treatment decisions. However, quality is a key to the
success of the data web and a major barrier for further industry adoption.
The goal of the workshop on Linked Data Quality Assurance is to raise the
awareness of quality issues in Linked Data and to promote approaches to improve
Linked Data quality.
