The aim of this challenge is to test the performance of solutions for 
SPARQL processing
in aspects that are relevant for modern applications. These include 
ingesting data,
answering queries on large datasets, versioning data, browsing and 
serving as backend
for applications using Linked Data. The MOCHA challenge will test the 
systems against
data derived from real applications and with realistic loads.

This year, the challenge comprises the following tasks:
-Task 1 (Data Ingestion) will measure how well systems can ingest 
streams of RDF data.
-Task 2 (Data Storage) will measure how well data stores perform for 
different types of
         queries.
-Task 3 (Versioning) will measure how well versioning and archiving 
systems for Linked
         Data perform when they manage multiple versions of large data sets.
-Task 4 (Browsing) will check if existing solutions perform adequately 
for applications
         that address  browsing through large data sets.

Participants will be expected to describe their solution and results on 
the training
datasets over a 5 page paper. In particular, a short summary of the 
approach chosen,
a link to the experimental results and an analysis of the strengths and 
weaknesses of
the approach are expected.
