Can we create better links by playing games?

Most of you will agree that links are an important element of the Web of Data. There exist a number of tools, such as LIMES or SILK, which are able to create a high number of such links by using heuristics. The manual validation of verification of such links can be very time-consuming, so we try to find out whether game based approaches can be used to make that task much more interesting. We developed the VeriLinks game prototype and ask for your help to judge how well the the validation works by playing the game and answering a few questions in a survey:

Game: http://verilinks.aksw.org
Project Page: http://aksw.org/projects/VeriLinks
Survey: http://surveys.aksw.org/survey/verilinks

The survey itself takes only 5 minutes to complete. In addition to having the chance to play a game at work , there are also great prizes to win. 10 randomly selected participants will receive Amazon vouchers:

1st prize: 200 Euro
2nd prize: 100 Euro
3rd prize: 50 Euro
4th – 10th prize: 25 Euro

If you want to win a prize, please participate in the survey until this Friday, June 22, 23:59 CET.

Kind regards,

Quan Nguyen and Jens Lehmann
