OKE Open Challenge at a glance:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


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 several datasets and will comprise 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


We herewith invite system developers to participate in the 
aforementioned tasks. 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.
