The LinkedUp Challenge has a dedicated event during the workshop/tutorial days of ESWC 2014, as well as a dedicated slot during the main session.

== AI Mashup Challenge ==

The AI mashup challenge accepts and awards mashups that use AI technology, including but not restricted to machine learning and data mining, machine vision, natural language processing, reasoning, ontologies in the context of the semantic web. Such services may run on any medium, including web browsers, handheld devices, mobile phones (IOS, Android), etc.
This challenge has a special dedicated session at ESWC 2014.
