The aim of this challenge is to test the performance of knowledge
extraction systems in aspects that are relevant for the Semantic
Web. These include precision, recall and runtime. The challenge will
test the systems against data derived from real datasets. We herewith
invite system developers to participate in the aforementioned tasks.

The system developers are invited to write papers (5 page documents)
presenting their results on the training data (see important dates
below). To ensure that the system results are comparable, we will
provide the HOBBIT benchmarking platform for the generation of the
final results to be included into the system publications.  A
specification of the hardware on which the benchmarks will be ran will
be released in due course.

This year, the challenge comprises the following tasks:
Task 1: Focused Named Entity Identification and Linking
Task 2: Broader Named Entity Identification and Linking
Task 3: Focused Musical Named Entity Recognition and Linking
Task 4: Knowledge Extraction
