[Ann] CSV2RDF at PublicData.eu

Dear all,

we are happy to announce the public beta of the CSV2RDF service and the
mapping creation on the PublicData.eu portal wiki:

http://wiki.publicdata.eu/

Governments and public administrations started recently to publish large
amounts of structured data on the Web, mostly in the form of tabular
data such as CSV files or Excel sheets. The PublicData.eu Mapping Wiki
enables the crowd-sourcing of the large-scale semantic mapping of such
tabular data. Default mappings are automatically created and can be
revised by the community using this semantic wiki. The mappings are
executed using the sophisticated Sparqlify streaming RDB2RDF conversion [1].

The PublicData.eu Mapping Wiki processes all ~10k CSV resources
available at PublicData.eu. User can navigate to the CSV2RDF mapping
wiki page from the resource or dataset page on the PublicData.eu portal
[2]. Metadata about datasets is available inside the wiki pages by the
means of Semantic MediaWiki. Example queries over the data as well as
example mappings can be found on the popular page [3].

I would like to thank the members of AKSW research group [4] in
particular Sören Auer as well as the OKFN [5] and LOD2 project [6] for
their support.

Ivan Ermilov,
AKSW research group.
