This document sets out a series of best practices designed to facilitate development and delivery of open government data as Linked Open Data. Linked Open Data makes the World Wide Web into a global database, sometimes referred to as the “Web of Data”. Using Linked Data Principles, developers can query Linked Data from multiple sources at once and combine it without the need for a single common schema that all data shares. Prior to international data exchange standards for data on the Web, it was time consuming and difficult to build applications using traditional data management techniques. As more open government data is published on the Web, best practices are evolving too. The goal of this document is to compile the most relevant data management practices for the publication and use of of high quality data published by governments around the world as Linked Open Data.

Xuran Zhao received a "best student paper" for his paper entitled "Unsupervised Multi-view Dimensionality Reduction with Application to Audio-Visual Speaker Retrieval" coauthored with Nicholas Evans and Jean-Luc Dugelay during the IEEE International Workshop on Information Forensics and Security (Guangzhou, China, November 18-21, 2013).

LinkedTV partners CERTH, UEP, FhG and EURECOM have worked hard all this summer to make a submission to the Search and Hyperlinking task at MediaEval 2013. Why all this effort? MediaEval is the real scientific evaluation of our approach for media enrichment, which is at the heart of the ongoing EU FP7 project LinkedTV. Not all LinkedTV components have been tested of course, but most of the multimedia analysis chain (such as scene detection, OCR, visual concept detection, named entity recognition, keywords extraction, semantic distance using knowledge bases and WordNet, multimodal indexing, etc.) was used to design our framework. This system enabled us to address the hyperlinking problem in a real setting: the task was to provide enrichments to media fragments of seed video content, enrichments which are judged by real users regarding their relevance. As one of 11 submissions, the LinkedTV submission lead by Mathilde Sahuguet and Benoit Huet of EURECOM obtained the second best result for the search task and achieved best for the hyperlinking task according to the final results which were made public at the MediaEval Workshop on October 18/19th in Barcelona, Spain (www.mediaeval.org). A « Distinctive Mention Award » was presented to Mathilde during the closing session of the workshop. Such results indicate that LinkedTV is currently providing one of the leading technologies for this task!
