Linked Data on the Web (LDOW2009)

Workshop at WWW2009, Madrid, Spain

Introduction

Over the last two years, the concept and principles of Linked Data have contributed to the realisation of a Semantic Web, or Web of Data. This Web now includes data sets as extensive and diverse as DBpedia, Geonames, US Census, EuroStat, MusicBrainz, BBC Programmes, Flickr, DBLP, PubMed, and UniProt. The availability of these and many other data sets has paved the way for an increasing number of end-user applications that build on Linked Data, support services designed to reduce the complexity of integrating heterogeneous data from distributed sources, as well as new business opportunities for start-up companies in this space. As these developments continue apace, there is a pressing need for principled research in the areas of linking algorithms, data fusion and architectures for Linked Data applications. Building on the success of last year's LDOW workshop at WWW2008 in Beijing, the LDOW2009 workshop will provide a forum for exposing high quality, novel research and applications in these areas. In addition, by bringing together researchers in this field, the event will further shape the ongoing research agenda in the field of Linked Data.
