[open-linguistics] Fwd: Updated LOD Cloud Diagram - Please enter your linked datasets into the datahub.io catalog for inclusion.

Thu Jul 24 14:48:51 UTC 2014

Dear all,

those of you also active in the Semantic Web community will have already
have encountered Chris Bizer's mail below. However, as this doesn't include
everybody in the group, please forgive the redundancy: In the context of
compiling the new LOD diagram, it would be great to include LLOD data sets
as well, but for most of our data sets, this requires updating the
datahub.io entries according to the specifications under
https://www.w3.org/wiki/TaskForces/CommunityProjects/LinkingOpenData/DataSets/CKANmetainformation.

Also, as the number of LLOD resources has been grown rapidly in the last
years, I asked him whether there would be room to create a distinct
category for them in the LOD diagram. Except for the light green data sets
in the diagram which are actually taken from the LOD diagram (DBpedia
etc.), other LLOD in the LOD cloud datasets are currently mostly labeled as
"cross-domain" resources -- somewhat dissatisfying to most of us, I guess.

So, this is a *call for action*: If you want your resources to get in,
please update your metadata, send me an email until end of next week, and I
will forward this as an update request to Chris.

Best,
Christian

Hi all,

Max Schmachtenberg, Heiko Paulheim and I have crawled of the Web of Linked
Data and have drawn an updated LOD Cloud diagram based on the results of
the crawl.

This diagram showing all linked datasets that our crawler managed to
discover in April 2014 is found here:

http://data.dws.informatik.uni-mannheim.de/lodcloud/2014/ISWC-RDB/LODCloudDiagram.png

We also analyzed the compliance of the different datasets with the Linked
Data best practices and a paper presenting the results of the analysis is
found below. The paper will appear at ISWC 2014 in the Replication,
Benchmark, Data and Software Track.

http://dws.informatik.uni-mannheim.de/fileadmin/lehrstuehle/ki/pub/SchmachtenbergBizerPaulheim-AdoptionOfLinkedDataBestPractices.pdf

The raw data used for our analysis is found on this page:

http://data.dws.informatik.uni-mannheim.de/lodcloud/2014/ISWC-RDB/

Our crawler did discover 77 dataset that do not allow crawling via their
robots.txt files and these datasets were not included into our analysis and
are also not included in the current version of the LOD Cloud diagram.

A list of these datasets is found at
http://data.dws.informatik.uni-mannheim.de/lodcloud/2014/ISWC-RDB/tables/notCrawlableDatasets.tsv

In order to give a comprehensive overview of all Linked Data sets that are
currently online, we would like to draw another version of the LOD Cloud
diagram including the datasets that our crawler has missed as well as the
datasets that do not allow crawling.

Thus, if you publish or know about linked datasets that are not in the
diagram or in the list of not crawlable datasets yet, please:

1.       Enter them into the datahub.io data catalog until August 8th.

2.       Tag them in the catalog with the tag ‘lod’ (
http://datahub.io/dataset?tags=lod)

3.       Send an email to Max and Chris pointing us at the entry in the
catalog.

We will include all datasets into the updated version of the cloud diagram,
that fulfill the following requirements:

1.       Data items are accessible via dereferencable URIs.

2.       The dataset sets at least 50 RDF links pointing at other datasets
or at least one other dataset is setting 50 RDF links pointing at your
dataset.

Instructions on how to describe your dataset in the catalog are found here:

https://www.w3.org/wiki/TaskForces/CommunityProjects/LinkingOpenData/DataSets/CKANmetainformation

Please make sure that you include information about the RDF links pointing
from your dataset into other datasets (field links: ) as well as a tag
indicating the topical category of your dataset, so that we know how to
include it into the diagram.

Please also include an example URI from your dataset into the catalog.

We will start to review the new datasets and to draw the updated version of
the LOD cloud diagram after August 8th.

So please point us at datasets to be included before this date.

Cheers,

Max, Heiko, and Chris
