Hi all, Together with this years I-Semantics conference we are organizing a Linking Open Data Triplification Challenge. Submission deadline is in three weeks (30th of June). The challenge aims at expediting the process of revealing and exposing structured (relational) representations, which already back most of the existing Web sites, as well as raising awareness in the Web Developer community and showcasing best practices. The challenge awards attractive prices (MacBook Air, EeePC, iPod) to the most innovative and promising semantifications. The prizes are kindly sponsored by OpenLink Software [2], Punkt.NetServices [3] and InfAI [4]. More Information about the challenge can be found at: http://triplify.org/Challenge I think outreach to the Web developer communities (as intended with the challenge) is really crucial right now to expedite the Semantic Web deployment and I would be very excited if you support this effort - e.g. by spreading the word and/or submitting to the challenge.
