OK, another test -- Interesting - to change my email address I had to rejoin the group, and then verify the new address - then it removes the other alternate ...
Hi all, Looks like there are quite a few people here (28 according to the website) so I thought it might be time to say hello. I'm not sure of the exact format...
All, Welcome to the mailing list! For now, I would just want to note how delighted I am by the early reactions to the new Challenge. The sun hasn't even set in...
Ian, Thank you very much for your offer to host the data set. We will be very much looking for similar technical assistance in the future. With respect to your...
Colleagues It is great to see all this interest in questions of sem web scalability. For OpenLink, this challenge represents a forum for both refining the ...
All, I assume this competition is really about demonstrating the construction of a valuable graph comprised of a least a Billion Triples? In our parlance this...
Just to be clear - we have lots of thinking to do about what's in the triples, how they're collected, etc. - but the main challenge isn't to be able to store...
Ah. I was just about to ask that question. My perspective would be: "What can you *do* with a billion triples?" "Go on, wow me with something useful!" So I...
Hi All, I'm Steve Harris, of Garlik Ltd. We have several RDF stores containing 1-2 billion triples, which provide data for a product called DataPatrol. It is...
Hi Peter, Jim and all, I think that it is a great idea to have a special track in the Semantic Web challenge for applications that do innovative stuff with ...
Hi Hugh, I completely share your perspective. About your first parameter: the Web indeed has been an important motivation to start doing this. Most of the...
Hi All, As Jim said, one of the most important aspects to discuss is the data set. As you can expect this is not something we have but something we are...
All, After less than 24 hours, we already have 44 members on our mailing list, which is great to see. Welcome everyone! Feel free to invite your colleagues who...
... We are currently in the process of preparing the DBpedia V3 release, which will include extractions of most datasets in the 14 largest language versions,...
The current dbpedia does not serve as linked data all the information it has. In fact it does not include the colinking information. Although linking is, lets...
... Chris, Very very important points!! When done in an Open manner that leverages openly available linked data, we actually get to a Billion Triples really...
The following, somewhat tongue in cheek interaction between me and Sean Palmer on the SWIG page (http://swig.xmlhack.com/ 2007/12/05/2007-12-05.html) may help...
... I guess this kind of discussion fits better to the DBpedia mailinglist (which I include in my reply) since as I understood the BT-Challenge will provide a...
Hi Giovanni, ... Could you give an example use case where is it useful to have that dataset served as linked data? I created it for the purpose of statistical...
(this message grew in the telling...) ... Hmmm. That's a shame, because my feeling is that the challenge could work really well with a particular task. The...
Ian (I wanted to inline my comments, but my mailer and the yahoo inserted junk in the email don't cooperate to let me do that)... I don't disagree with...
... Soren, We aren't worried about the size of the data sets :-) Even more so as we add EC2 and Virtuoso Clustering to the mix :-) -- Regards, Kingsley Idehen...
Hi Ian, I disagree with you. Semantic Web doesn't compete with today's IR methods. I'm afraid that the questions you used as examples are quite artificial and...
... On that basis , for sure! We need to make it easier people to query against DBpedia, anything that diminishes this goal is a detraction and ultimately...
Hi Georgi, human created links across specific topics are pretty precious in reality (people follow them for a reason in fact). an example if you look at...
... I probably shouldn't have included those sample questions because they distracted from my point about heterogenous data integration. ... I don't see those...
... I didn't mean at all that Virtuoso is not capable of handling very large datasets (in fact I'm really impressed about its performance), but I think there...
... Soren, Sure :-) That said, I did respond with more than 1 concurrent user in mind :-) Anyway, the most important thing here is that: 1. a Billion Triples...
Gents - great discussion, and exactly why we created this challenge - we want everyone to be able to show off what /they/ think is something cool the Semantic...
