The LinkedUp Project launches the second of the LinkedUp Challenge competitions
-- the Vidi Competition.
The LinkedUp Project aims to push forward the exploitation of the vast amounts
of public, open data available on the Web, in particular by educational
institutions and organizations.
For Vidi we're inviting you to design and build innovative and robust
prototypes and demos for tools that analyse and/or integrate open web data for
educational purposes. You can submit your Web application, App, analysis
toolkit, documented API or any other tool that connects, exploits or analyses
open or linked data and that addresses real educational needs. For Vidi your
tool may contain some bugs, as long as it has a stable set of features and you
have some proof that it can be deployed on a realistic scale.
This time we also have two focused tracks to run alongside our open track. In
these tracks we are asking you to design a solution to the problem we have
described.
-*Simplificator* calls for applications easing access to complex information
by summarizing them in a simpler form.
-*Pathfinder* requires applications easing access to recommendation and
guidance when chosing appropriate curriculum of courses and related resources.
You can find out more about the focused tracks from the LinkedUp Challenge
website.
The Vidi competition will run from 4th November 2013 till 14th February 2014.
Prizes (up EUR3,000 for first prize) will be awarded at the European Semantic
Web Conference in Crete, Greece in May 2014. That gives you 3 months to get
designing and building. You can find out more details about the catalogue of
datasets we've collated for you and ideas to get you started on the LinkedUp
Challenge website.
So get designing!
