Abstract—Just like links are the backbone of the traditional World Wide Web, they are an equally important element in the Data Web. There exist a variety of automated tools, which are able to create a high number of links between RDF resources by using heuristics. However, without manual verification of the created links, it is difficult to ensure high precision and recall. In this article, we investigate whether game based approaches can be used to improve this manual verification stage. Based on the VeriLinks game platform, which we developed, we describe experiments using a survey and statistics collected within a specific interlinking game. Using three different link tasks as examples, we present an analysis of the strengths and limitations of game based link verification. I.

Abstract. There is a high public demand to increase transparency in government spending. Open spending data has the power to reduce corruption by increasing accountability and strengthens democracy because voters can make better informed decisions. An informed and trusting public also strengthens the government itself because it is more likely to commit to large projects. OpenSpending.org is a an open platform that provides public finance data from governments around the world. In this article, we present its RDF conversion LinkedSpending which provides more than five million planned and carried out financial transactions in 627 datasets from all over the world from 2005 to 2035 as Linked Open Data. This data is represented in the RDF Data Cube vocabulary and is freely available and openly licensed.
