The yearly organized Linked Data Triplification Challenge awards prizes to the most promising application demonstrations and approaches in three fields related to Linked Data.

For the success of the Semantic Web it is from our point of view crucial to overcome the chicken-and-egg problem of missing semantic representations on the Web and the lack of their utilization within concrete applications, to solve real-world problems. The Triplification Challenge aims to expedite this process by raising awareness and showcasing best practices.

Prizes will be awarded to the three winners of each category (see below). The prizes will be announced soon.

The challenge is open to anyone interested in applying Semantic Web and Linked Data technologies. This might include students, developers, researchers, and people from industry. Individual or group submissions are both acceptable.

For technical information please consult the W3C SWEO Linking Open Data Wiki, Tim Berners-Lee’s Design Issues, the Linked Data Tutorial, and the Consuming Linked Data Tutorial. It is also good to read Linked Data — The Story So Far. If you need technical assistance, use the Linking Open Data mailinglists.

The presentation of the winners of the Triplification Challenge 2010 will take place during the I-SEMANTICS conference.
