Data Web 2016 - International Workshop on Managing the Evolution and Preservation of the Data Web

This workshop targets one of the emerging and fundamental problems in the Semantic Web, specifically the preservation of evolving linked datasets. This topic is of particular relevance to ESWC since it raises awareness of the importance to research solutions for preserving and managing of dynamic linked datasets. Fostering active usage of such evolving datasets requires to address challenges such as synchronisation, change representation, storing and querying over evolving graphs.
Apart from researchers and practitioners, the target audience comprises data publishers and consumers. Publishers will benefit from attending this workshop by learning about ways and best practises to publish their evolving datasets. Consumers benefit by being able to discuss their expectations, requirements and current systems to handle and process changing dataset in efficient ways. In addition, this year’s workshop introduces an Open RDF Archive Challenge and also invites industries to submit use cases and practical presentations. We expect around 20 participants.
