Hi all, the Web-based Systems Group and our industry partner mes |semantics are happy to announce the release of the LDIF – Linked Data Integration Framework Version 0.5 'Quality and Fusion'. LDIF can be used within Linked Data applications to translate heterogeneous data from the Web of Linked Data into a clean local target representation while keeping track of data provenance. LDIF translates data from the Web into a consistent target vocabulary, includes an identity resolution component which translates URI aliases into single target URI and fuses data of instances to resolve value conflicts. Version 0.5 includes the following new features: - a data quality assessment and fusion module (Sieve) for cleansing data according to user-provided quality assessment policies and conflict resolution methods; - a more flexible Integration workflow: single phases can now be executed or skipped; - a REST based status monitor; - improvements in the Output module: QuadStore and intermediate results outputs are now supported; - improvements in the Data Access module: RDF/XML and Turtle formats are now supported and - several bug fixes. LDIF is provided under the terms of the Apache Software License. LDIF can be downloaded from the project webpage which also provides detailed information about the features and the configuration of the framework: http://ldif.wbsg.de/ The development of LDIF is supported in part by Vulcan Inc. as part of its Project Halo and by the EU FP7 project LOD2 (Grant No. 257943). Cheers, Andreas Schultz, Andrea Matteini, Robert Isele, Pablo N. Mendes, Chris Bizer and Christian Becker
