Benchmarking for Big Data platforms is a topic of central importance for the adoption of these technologies in modern enterprises. Providing benchmarking platforms for evaluating the performance of frameworks and approaches objectively is thus a practice that will become ever more relevant over the next years. This is the core message that resulted from the […]
HOBBIT is now almost one year old. Within the 2nd plenary meeting, which took place in Leipzig between September 26th and 27th, we recapitulated the current state of affairs and have been pushing towards converting the results of this plenary into a reality over the last months. Overall, the plenary showed that we are on […]
The number of datasets published in the Web of Data as part of the Linked Data Cloud is constantly increasing. The Linked Data paradigm is based on the unconstrained publication of information by different publishers, and the interlinking of Web resources across knowledge bases. In most cases, the cross-dataset links are not explicit in the […]
The interest in benchmarking for Linked Data is growing tangibly and HOBBIT is one of the carriers of movement. This is one of the insights we could gather at ISWC 2016, which was held in Kobe, Japan between October 17 to October 21. HOBBIT had a very strong presence at the conference where members of […]

In many cases IoT analytics release their power only when different data sources are integrated and correlated with each other. This makes Big Linked Data a key technology candidate to provide advanced and innovative IoT analytics. AGT International is a leading player in IoT analytics, is active in established and upcoming verticals including Connected Cities, […]
As LOD datasets are constantly evolving, both at schema and instance level, there is a need for systems that support efficiently storing and querying such evolving data. Such archiving systems must support various types of queries on data, including queries that access multiple versions (cross-version queries), queries that access the evolution history (delta) itself, as well as […]
The annual meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL) is the premier conference of the field of computational linguistics, covering a broad spectrum of diverse research areas that are concerned with computational approaches to natural language. ACL took place in Germany and was held at the Humboldt University, in the heart of Berlin, August […]
Special issue on Benchmarking Linked Data at Semantic Web – Interoperability, Usability, Applicability* (an IOS Press Journal) (* The journal Semantic Web – Interoperability, Usability, Applicability (published and printed by IOS Press, ISSN: 1570-0844), in short Semantic Web journal, brings together researchers from various fields which share the vision and need for more effective and […]
Non-relational data management is starting to dominate the new data economy. Formats like XML, JSON and RDF are becoming the basis for data exchange in the Web and the Enterprise, and systems are constantly being developed for their support. For any such system to gain traction, it has to provide adequate support for its respective […]
