      <p>Linked Open Data (LOD) is about publishing and
interlinking data of different origin and purpose on the web. The
Resource Description Framework (RDF) is used to
describe data on the LOD cloud. In contrast to relational
databases, RDF does not provide a fixed, pre-defined schema.
Rather, RDF allows for flexibly modeling the data schema
by attaching RDF types and properties to the entities. Our
schema-level index called SchemEX allows for searching in
large-scale RDF graph data. The index can be efficiently
computed with reasonable accuracy over large-scale data
sets with billions of RDF triples, the smallest information
unit on the LOD cloud. SchemEX is highly needed as the
size of the LOD cloud quickly increases. Due to the evolution
of the LOD cloud, one observes frequent changes of the data.
We show that also the data schema changes in terms of
combinations of RDF types and properties. As changes cannot
capture the dynamics of the LOD cloud, current work
includes temporal clustering and finding periodicities in entity
dynamics over large-scale snapshots of the LOD cloud with
about 100 million triples per week for more than three years.
About the Author
Ansgar Scherp is Professor for Knowledge Discovery with
ZBW - Leibniz Information Centre for Economics and Kiel
University since January 2014. He is expert on analyzing
Linked Open Data, the approach to publish and interlink
data on the web. Ansgar has been EU Marie Curie Fellow
at UC Irvine, CA, USA from 2006 to 2007. Subsequently,
he has led work packages in EU projects such as
WeKnowIt and Social Sensor at the University of Koblenz-Landau.
Currently, Ansgar is scientific coordinator of the EU H2020
project MOVING (http://moving-project.eu/) on training
users from all societal sectors to improve their information
literacy by training how to choose, use, and evaluate data
mining methods in connection with their daily research tasks
and to become data-savvy information professionals.</p>
