CLODA: A Crowdsourced Linked Open Data Architecture Georgios Larkou, Julia Metochi Georgios Chatzimilioudis and Demetrios Zeinalipour-Yazti Data Management Systems Laboratory Department of Computer Science University of Cyprus

Dagstuhl Seminar 10042, Demetris Zeinalipour, University of Cyprus, 26/1/ Presenter: Demetris Zeinalipour, Overview We will be presenting an architecture for enriching linked open databases with the use of smartphones. Building such semantically-rich datasets is expected to enrich social networking interactions to new levels. This work is build on knowledge we built with Indoor Localization and Crowdsourcing with Smartphones and Smartphone Testbeds.

Dagstuhl Seminar 10042, Demetris Zeinalipour, University of Cyprus, 26/1/ Presenter: Demetris Zeinalipour, Crowdsourcing Definitions Crowdsourcing = Crowd + Outsourcing –Jeff Howe (2006). "The Rise of Crowdsourcing". Wired. Definition from Wikipedia: –"Crowdsourcing refers to a distributed problem-solving model in which a crowd of undefined size is engaged in the task of solving a complex problem through an open call" “Crowdsourcing with Smartphones”, Georgios Chatzimiloudis, Andreas Konstantinidis, Christos Laoudias, Demetrios Zeinalipour-Yazti, IEEE Internet Computing, Special Issue: Sep/Oct Crowdsourcing, May IEEE Press, Volume 16, Pages: 36-44, 2012.

Dagstuhl Seminar 10042, Demetris Zeinalipour, University of Cyprus, 26/1/ Presenter: Demetris Zeinalipour, Linked Open Data (LOD) Linked data refers to web accessible data (HTTP/URI addressable) that is structured (RDF) to allow computer link and query (SPARQL) the data [ aka 4 principles ] Conceived by Tim Berners-Lee and realized by the Semantic Web Community. –Tim Berners-Lee (2006). "Linked Data—Design Issues". W3C. Linked Open Datasets (LOD): –DBPedia (3.6M things describing Wikipedia) –GeoNames (describing 7.5M Geographic features) –YAGO & YAGO2 (combining Wikipedia, GeoNames and others) –Freebase (39M things - Google's LOD project!) –FOAF (describing People – Relationships –Open Social Net!)

Dagstuhl Seminar 10042, Demetris Zeinalipour, University of Cyprus, 26/1/ Presenter: Demetris Zeinalipour, Traditional LOD (RDF) DBPedia Example: LOD describing 3.64M Wikipedia things out of which 1.83M are classified in a consistent ontology –416,000 persons, 526,000 places, 106,000 music albums, 60,000 films, 17,500 video games, 169,000 organizations, 183,000 species and 5,400 diseases Infobox example

Dagstuhl Seminar 10042, Demetris Zeinalipour, University of Cyprus, 26/1/ Presenter: Demetris Zeinalipour, CLODA: Indoor Localization Numerous ways to localize without power-hungry GPS but most of the solutions rely on additional hardware (RFID, sensor networks, etc.) Smartphones can nowadays localize off-the-shelf with onboard sensors and WiFi signal fingerprints (coined Hybrid Localization) These solutions require that services acquire local data through Crowdsourcing (e.g., Google Indoor) –Building RadioMaps, MagnetometerMap, etc. –[Airplace] "The Airplace Indoor Positioning Platform for Android Smartphones", C.

E.g., Inventory Management in a Hospital

Dagstuhl Seminar 10042, Demetris Zeinalipour, University of Cyprus, 26/1/ Presenter: Demetris Zeinalipour, CLODA Quality Issues Data Quality / Data Freshness –LOD data suffers from both of these aspects –Crowdsourcing offers Freshness but still lacks explicit Quality guarantees (repeat N times then majority vote) Possible Solutions: Integrate Location-aware Techniques to validate data added and linked –Task of Identifying the neighbors of all users continuously with Proximity, see IEEE MDM'12. –Task of Identifying similarly moving users with SmartTrace, see IEEE TKDE, June, 2013.

Dagstuhl Seminar 10042, Demetris Zeinalipour, University of Cyprus, 26/1/ Presenter: Demetris Zeinalipour, CLODA Testbed Issues Currently, there are no testbeds (like motelab, planetlab) for realistically prototyping Smartphone Network applications and protocols at a large scale. Currently applications are tested in emulators. –Sensors are not emulated.  –Reprogramming is difficult.  SmartLab ( is a first-of-a- kind programmable cloud of 40+ smartphones deployed at our department enabling a new line of systems-oriented research on smartphones.
