Special Issue on Web Data Quality
International Journal on Semantic Web and Information Systems
Scope:
The standardization and adoption of Semantic Web technologies has resulted in an unprecedented volume of data being published as Linked Open Data (LOD). The integration across this Web of Data, however, is hampered by the ‘publish first, refine later’philosophy. This leads to various quality problems arising in the underlying data such as incompleteness, inconsistency and incomprehensibility. These problems affect every application domain, be it scientific (e.g., life science, environment), governmental or industrial applications.
This Special Issue is addressed to those members of the community interested in providing novel methodologies or frameworks in assessing, monitoring, maintaining and improving the quality of the Web of Data and also introduce tools and user interfaces which can effectively assist in the assessment. The benefits of such methodologies will not only help in detecting inherent data quality problems currently plaguing the Web of Data, but also provide the means to fix these problems and maintain the quality in the long run. Additionally, we also seek articles that help identify the current impediments in building real-world LOD applications
Topics:
Web data and LOD quality concepts
