Moon Landing Or Safari? a Study of Systematic Errors and Their Causes in Geographic Linked Data
Moon Landing or Safari? A Study of Systematic Errors and their Causes in Geographic Linked Data Krzysztof Janowicz1, Yingjie Hu1, Grant McKenzie2, Song Gao1, Blake Regalia1, Gengchen Mai1, Rui Zhu1, Benjamin Adams3, and Kerry Taylor4 1 STKO Lab, University of California, Santa Barbara, USA 2 Department of Geographical Sciences, University of Maryland, USA 3 Centre for eResearch, The University of Auckland, New Zealand 4 Australian National University, Australia Abstract. While the adoption of Linked Data technologies has grown dramatically over the past few years, it has not come without its own set of growing challenges. The triplification of domain data into Linked Data has not only given rise to a leading role of places and positioning information for the dense interlinkage of data about actors, objects, and events, but also led to massive errors in the generation, transformation, and semantic annotation of data. In a global and densely interlinked graph of data, even seemingly minor error can have far reaching conse- quences as different datasets make statements about the same resources. In this work we present the first comprehensive study of systematic errors and their potential causes. We also discuss lessons learned and means to avoid some of the introduced pitfalls in the future. 1 Introduction and Motivation Over the last few years, the Linked Data cloud has grown to a size of more than 85 billion statements, called triples, contributed by more than 9,900 data sources. A cleaned and quality controlled version made available via the LOD Laundromat [2] contains nearly 40 billion triples.1 The Linked Data cloud (and proprietary versions derived from it and other sources) have brought dramatic changes to industry, governments, and research. -

But what does claiming space mean? What are the urgencies? Humans claimed territories or occupy buildings even just to survive, for protection. the need for protection is gone, but why today is there still the need to claim space? the need to explore the need for free space, open for possibilities the need to mediate the need to be yourself for real the need to control space This can be in the virtual world or in the physical world. Today we have to re-claim different spaces because of shifting borders. Between public and private, real and virtual,..borders which are present in different domains of every- day life. It refers to the degree of access granted to “outsiders,” however outsiders are defined. But despite digital privacy agreements and no-trespassing signs, the boundar- ies are often ill-defined and contested.Im the concept of claiming or re-claiming space there is a variety of scales that overlap and intersect,creating a mosaic of spaces and degrees of access. claiming space; the act of occupying / exploring / mapping / … space border; determines an area and claims the area field; the third space / the
