Abstract

As the size of semantic data available as Linked Open Data (LOD) increases, the demand for methods for automated exploration of data sets grows as well. A data consumer needs to search for data sets meeting his interest and look into them using suitable visualization techniques to check whether the data sets are useful or not. In the recent years, particular advances have been made in the field, e.g., automated ontology matching techniques or LOD visualization platforms. However, an integrated approach to LOD exploration is still missing. On the scale of the whole web, the current approaches allow a user to discover data sets using keywords or manually through large data catalogs. Existing visualization techniques presume that a data set is of an expected type and structure. The aim of this position paper is to show the need for time and space efficient techniques for discovery of previously unknown LOD data sets on the base of a consumer’s interest and their automated visualization which we address in our ongoing work
