“…In terms of game design, the Knowledge Test Game is an output-agreement game [5] and a game with a purpose for the Semantic Web [7]. Its gaming principles are influenced by Common Consensus, another Family Feud like webgame which asks its players to name common sense goals (e.g., "What can you do to watch TV?").…”

The Semantic Web: Semantics and Big Data

Abstract. In recent years, the ongoing adoption of Semantic Web technologies has lead to a large amount of Linked Data that has been generated. While in the early days of the Semantic Web we were fighting data scarcity, nowadays we suffer from an overflow of information. In many situations we want to restrict the amount of facts which is shown to an end-user or passed on to another system to just the most important ones.In this paper we propose to rank facts in accordance to human association strengths between concepts. In order to collect a ground truth we developed a Family Feud like web-game called "Knowledge Test Game". Given a Linked Data entity it collects other associated Linked Data entities from its players. We explain the game's concept, its suggestion box which maps the players' text input back to Linked Data entities and include a detailed evaluation of the game showing promising results. The collected data is published and can be used to evaluate algorithms which rank facts.

Abstract.To realize the Smart Cities vision, applications can leverage the large availability of open datasets related to urban environments. Those datasets need to be integrated, but it is often hard to automatically achieve a high-quality interlinkage. Human Computation approaches can be employed to solve such a task where machines are ineffective. We argue that in this case not only people's background knowledge is useful to solve the task, but also people's physical presence and direct experience can be successfully exploited. In this paper we present UrbanMatch, a Game with a Purpose for players in mobility aimed at validating links between points of interest and their photos; we discuss the design choices and we show the high throughput and accuracy achieved in the interlinking task.

“…This idea is implemented in so-called games with a purpose that disguise the creation of semantics in an online game that users enjoy playing. Such games are already half way between the two types of user participation as the player of a game is not necessarily aware of his contribution to information semantics [44]. An even more indirect way is to just observe user behavior and try to derive information semantics from this behavior [4].…”

Data Semantics is a wide area that continuously faces new challenges arising from the invention of new information formats and novel applications. An area that is particularly challenging with respect to identifying, representing and using data semantics is the Web. This paper attempts to characterize the nature and challenges of Data Semantics on the Web as an interesting research area to be covered by the Journal on Data Semantics.
