USEWOD 2012 Data Challenge

From the website:

The USEWOD 2012 Data Challenge invites research and applications built on the basis of USEWOD 2012 Dataset.

Accepted submissions will be presented at USEWOD2012, where a winner will be chosen. Examples of analyses and research that could be done with the dataset are the following (but not limited to those):

  • correlations between linked data requests and real-world events
  • types of structured queries
  • linked data access vs. conventional access
  • analysis of user agents visiting the sites
  • geographical analysis of requests
  • detection and visualisation of trends
  • correlations between site traffic and available datasets
  • etc. – let your imagination run wild!

USEWOD 2012 Dataset

The USEWOD dataset consists of server logs from from two major web servers publishing datasets on the Web
of linked data. In particular, the dataset contains logs from:

  • DBPedia: slices of log data
    spanning several months from
    the linked data twin of Wikipedia, one of the focal points of the Web of data.
    The logs were kindly made available to us for the challenge
    by OpenLink Software!
    Further details about this part of the dataset to follow.
  • SWDF:
    Semantic Web Dog Food is a
    constantly growing dataset of publications, people and organisations in the Web and Semantic Web area,
    covering several of the major conferences and workshops, including WWW, ISWC and ESWC. The logs
    contain two years of requests to the server from about 12/2008 until 12/2010.
  • Linked Open Geo Data A dataset about geographical data.
  • Bio2RDF Linked Data for life sciences.

Data sets are still under construction. Organizers advise that data sets should be available next week.

Your results should be reported as short papers and are due by 15 February 2011.
