******************************************************

== THE CHALLENGE  ==

The Open RDF archiving challenge is intended to encourage developers, data
publishers, and technology/tool creators to apply Semantic Web techniques
to create, integrate, analyze or use an archive of linked open datasets.
Thus, we expect developments showcasing developments demonstrating one (or
all) of:

A) useful functionality over RDF archives
B) a potential commercial application of RDF archives
C) tools to support/⁠manage RDF archives at Web scale
D) visual interfaces for evolving data/⁠archives

More concrete ideas:
- System to efficiently retrieve a version of a graph at a given time point
- Efficient compression of the change history of one of our datasets
- Cross version querying ( Give the current address of my authors from
2012)
- Memento protocol for LDF servers

==  HOW TO PARTICIPATE  ==

Please submit the description of your system (max 5 pages) via EasyChair (
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=mepdaw2016), with the same format
as the papers in the Research Track (LNCS).

The following information must be provided:

-⁠ Abstract: no more than 200 words.
- Executive Summary: Please provide a short executive summary that
describes the functionality and usefulness of the application for
non-technical audience.
- Description of the system/tool/solution: The details of the system should
put the focus on the functionality and innovative aspects of the system.
- Web access: The application should be accessible via the web. If the
application is not publicly accessible, passwords should be provided. A
(short) set of instructions on how to start and use the application should
also be provided on the web page.

Descriptions will be published in the form of online proceedings in the
Open RDF archiving challenge website.

We also encourage research submissions to the workshop to consider to
participate in this challenge.

==  DATASETS ==

Submissions may use any linked open datasets as source of archiving. We
herein provide four suggestions that may be used as basis for submissions:

- The Dynamic Linked Data Observatory (http://swse.deri.org/DyLDO/),
monitoring more than 650 different domains across time and serving weekly
crawls of these domains.
- BEAR (ftp://nassdataweb.infor.uva.es/BEAR), is a testbed for RDF archives
that provides 58 versions from the linked open data observatory
- The Dbpedia Wayback Machine (http://data.wu.ac.at/wayback/), that allows
to retrieve the version of a DBpedia page at any point in time.
- DBpedia dumps (http://live.dbpedia.org/dumps/) and DBpedia Live
changesets (http://live.dbpedia.org/changesets/)


==  JUDGING ==

A jury of experts from industry and academia (to be announced) will
evaluate the systems according to the challenge criteria and will determine
the winners.
