Description

There is an unprecedented amount of data on the Web today. However,
this data is only as useful as its quality allows it to be. Data
Quality is an important topic in companies and organizations that use
and/or disseminate large and heterogeneous Linked Datasets. These
issues do not only arise in Linked Open Data, but also in Linked
Business Data. At the same time, researchers are coping with Linked
Data Quality issues as well, and have defined, proposed and evaluated
approaches and methodologies for assessing and improving Linked Data
quality.

Currently there is not one fool-proof method for dealing with Linked
Data Quality issues. This workshop brings together Linked Data experts
from different domains, from academia as well as industry, allowing
them to share their ideas, approaches, and lessons learnt with one
another.


Intended audience

Everybody who has published and/or consumed Linked Data and has run
into Linked Data Quality issues.
