At the AKSW Colloquium on Friday 1st of September, at 10:40 AM there will be a paper presentation by Gustavo Publio. He will present the paper IDOL: Comprehensive & Complete LOD Insights, from Ciro Baron Neto, Dimitris Kontokostas, Amit Kirschenbaum, Gustavo Publio, Diego Esteves, and Sebastian Hellmann which will be presented in the upcoming SEMANTiCS’17 Conference in Amsterdam, Netherlands.
Abstract
“Over the last decade, we observed a steadily increasing amount of
RDF datasets made available on the web of data. The decentralized
nature of the web, however, makes it hard to identify all these
datasets. Even more so, when downloadable data distributions are
discovered, only insufficient metadata is available to describe the
datasets properly, thus posing barriers on its usefulness and reuse.
In this paper, we describe an attempt to exhaustively identify the
whole linked open data cloud by harvesting metadata from multiple
sources, providing insights about duplicated data and the general
quality of the available metadata. This was only possible by using a
probabilistic data structure called Bloom Filter. Finally, we published
a dump file containing metadata which can further be used to enrich
existent datasets.”
