==================================================================

The Linked Data Cup awards prizes to the most promising innovation involving linked data. The Linked Data Cup invites scientists and practitioners to submit novel and innovative linked data sets and applications built on linked data technology, but also new insights that can be discovered through using linked data. 

The Linked Data Cup requires all submissions to include a specific use case and problem statement alongside a solution (triplified data set, interlinking/ cleansing approach, linked data application) that demonstrates the
usefulness of linked data or new insights from the data itself. The call is not limited to any domain or target group. We accept submissions ranging from value-added business intelligence use cases to scientific networks to the
longest tail of information domains. The only requirement is that the employment and use of linked data is well motivated and also justified.

You can use your own tool chain, which may include your own software and tools that are publicly available. We do not impose restrictions on the tools you want to use. Nevertheless, we would like to encourage you to utilize and deploy the following datasets and tools: The CODE Project (http://code-research.eu/) and the LOD2 (http://www.lod2.eu/). These two projects provide ingrediences you can use in form of 17.000 Linked Data Sets published at publicdata.eu and a set of online tools to handle, aggregate and visualise them.

The most promising application receives a 500,- Euro prize money sponsored by LOD2.

--- Topics --- 
Ideas for topics include (but are not limited to):

● Improving traditional approaches with help of linked data
● Linked data use in science and education
● Linked data supported multimedia applications
● Linked data in the open source context
● Web annotation
● Generic applications
● Visualization of linked data
● Linked government data
● Business models based on linked data
● Recommender systems supported by linked data
● Integrating microposts with linked data
● Distributed social web based on linked data
● Linked data sensor networks
● Linked data in multimedia applications

--- Evaluation Criteria ---

The submissions will be evaluated according to the extent to which they
1. motivate the relevancy of their use case for their respective domain
2. justify the adequacy of linked data technologies for their solution
3. demonstrate that alternatives to linked data would have resulted in an inferior solution
4. provide an evaluation that can measure the benefits of linked data
5. demonstrate the interestingness of the identified knowledge
6. are methodologically sound.
