Abstract

The quantity of published Linked Data continues to increase. However, applications that exploit Linked Data are not yet widespread. Reasons may include a lack of suitable solutions for a number of open problems. The diversity and dynamics of LOD sources have brought new challenges in seamless data integration, dynamic discovery, provenance tracking, and quality assessment at the Web scale. Addressing these issues requires joint community efforts from both LOD provision and consumption perspectives, including the development and investigation of concepts that can lead towards the realisation of a sustainable Linked Data ecosystem. The objective of this workshop is to provide a focused venue for academic and industrial discussions on concepts, algorithms, infrastructure and tools (including systematic analysis and rigorous evaluation) that help to exploit Linked Data (and not just to produce it).

[Full Day]

9:00 - 10:30

09:00-09:10: Workshop Introduction

09:10-10:10: Keynote: Consuming Linked Data at the BBC - Yves Raimond

Abstract: The BBC consumes a large amount of Linked Data, aggregated from a mixture of external, internal and commercial data sources, both for managing parts of its web site and for data mining projects. In this talk we are going to talk about various uses of Linked Data at the BBC and about some of the challenges we encountered.
