Dear All,

We would like to give a brief update on the submissions we have
received for the Semantic Web Challenge 2008 and the process going
forward.

We are pleased to share that we have received a record number of
submissions: altogether 24 individuals and groups have submitted their
work. We have received 14 submissions for the Open Track and 10
submissions for the Billion Triples Track.

We are currently evaluating whether the submissions meet the minimal
criteria we have posted for these tracks. We will send out
notifications later this week. (We expect that the vast majority of
submissions will meet the minimal criteria.)

Best,
Jim & Peter
