Presentations and awards at ISWC 2014 (19th-23th October 2014, Riva del
Garda, Italy)

LinkedUp aims to push forward the exploitation of the vast amounts of
public, open data available on the Web, in particular by educational
institutions and organizations.
For Vici we invite you to design and build advanced prototypes and tools
that exploit linked and/or open data for addressing real educational
needs. Your tool should be mature and stable; it should be used or have
been used by a fair amount of users on a realistic scale.
The Vici Competition has an Open Track and two Focused Tracks:
- *Supporting Developing Countries*, supported by the Commonwealth of
Learning and DANS, calls for applications that address educational
challenges in developing countries, such as the support of mobile,
low-bandwidth devices.
- *Water Resources & Ecology*, supported by Elsevier, asks for linking
published content to the Linked Data Web to enhance the learning
experience.
The Vici competition runs from 26th May 2014 till 5th September 2014.
Prizes (up €3,000 for first prize) will be awarded at the 13th
International Semantic Web Conference in Riva del Garda, Trento, Italy
in October 2014.
