HOBBIT Call for Sponsorship

Dear all,

*HOBBIT* organizes a series of challenges aiming to abolish the barriers in
the adoption and deployment of Big Linked Data by European companies, by
means of open benchmarking reports that allow them to assess the fitness of
existing solutions for their purposes. HOBBIT achieves this goal by
attracting the best of the best in the domain of benchmarking technologies
for Big Linked Data. In essence HOBBIT challenges aim to bring together
researchers and industrials in order to discuss topics related to the
performance of Linked Data systems and in specific the performance of
triple stores in order to reach a consensus on defining clear targets for
measuring the performance and functionality of Linked Data systems.

On behalf of the HOBBIT consortium we would like to* invite you to become a
sponsor *in one (or more) of the three challenges we organize in
conjunction with the ESWC 2017 <http://2017.eswc-conferences.org/>

2017:

   - the "Mighty Storage Challenge"

   context of holistic benchmarking of Big Linked Data.
   - the “QALD Challenge <https://project-hobbit.eu/challenges/qald2017/>”,
