News
- 2010-09-03: The LDOW2010 Proceedings are now online as CEUR-WS Vol-628.
- 2010-03-15: Notifications have been sent to all authors. In total 19 papers have been accepted for presentation at the workshop, based on 170 reviews. The organisers would like to thank PC members for their considerable efforts in undertaking these reviews and subsequent discussions.
- 2010-02-22: The workshop has received 44 submissions. Authors will be notified about the acceptance of their papers on March 15th 2010.
Objectives
The Web has developed into a global information space consisting not just of linked documents, but also of linked data.
More than just a vision, the resulting Web of Data has been brought into being by the maturing of the Semantic Web technology stack, and by the
publication of large datasets according to the principles of Linked Data. To date, the Web of Data has grown to a size of roughly
13.1 billion RDF triples, with contributions coming increasingly from companies, government and public sector projects, as well as from
individual Web enthusiasts. In addition to publishing and interlinking datasets, there is intensive work on Linked Data browsers, Web of Data search
engines and other applications that consume Linked Data from the Web.
LDOW2010 follows the successful LDOW2008 workshop at WWW2008 in Beijing and the LDOW2009 workshop at WWW2009 in Madrid. As the publication of Linked Data on the Web continues apace, the need becomes more pressing for principled research in the areas of
user interfaces for the Web of Data as well as on issues of quality, trust and provenance in Linked Data. We also expect to see a number of
submissions related to current areas of high Linked Data activity, such as government transparency, life sciences and the media industry. The goal of this workshop is to provide a forum for exposing high quality, novel research and applications in these (and related) areas. In addition, by bringing together researchers in this field,
we expect the event to further shape the ongoing Linked Data research agenda.

Topics of Interest
Topics of interest for the workshop include, but are not limited to, the following:
Linked Data Application Architectures
- crawling, caching and querying Linked Data
- dataset dynamics and synchronization
- Linked Data mining
Data Linking and Data Fusion
- linking algorithms and heuristics, identity resolution
- Web data integration and data fusion
- link maintanance
- performance of linking infrastructures/algorithms on Web data
Quality, Trust and Provenance in Linked Data
- tracking provenance and usage of Linked Data
- evaluating quality and trustworthiness of Linked Data
- profiling of Linked Data sources
User Interfaces for the Web of Data
- approaches to visualizing and interacting with distributed Web data
- Linked Data browsers and search engines
Data Publishing
- tools for publishing large data sources as Linked Data on the Web (e.g. relational databases, XML repositories)
- embedding data into classic Web documents (e.g. RDFa, Microformats)
- describing data on the Web (e.g. voiD, semantic site maps)
- licensing issues in Linked Data publishing
Business models for Linked Data publishing and consumption
Submissions
We seek three kinds of submissions:
- Full technical papers: up to 10 pages in ACM format
- Short technical and position papers: up to 5 pages in ACM format
- Demo description: up to 2 pages in ACM format
Submissions must be formatted using the WWW2010 templates available at http://www2010.org/www/authors/submissions/formatting-guidelines/.
We note that the author list does not need to be anonymized, as we we do not have a double-blind review process in place.
Submissions will be peer reviewed by three independent reviewers. Accepted papers will be presented at the workshop and included in the workshop proceedings.
Please submit your paper via EasyChair at http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ldow2010
Proceedings
Proceedings are published online at CEUR-WS Vol-628.
