Holistic Benchmarking of Big Linked Data (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
