Abstract

  • There is an ever-increasing amount and variety of open web data available that is insufficiently examined or not considered at all in decision making processes. This is because of the lack of end-user friendly tools that help to reuse this public data and to create knowledge out of it. Therefore, we propose a schema-optional data repository that provides the flexibility necessary to store and gradually integrate heterogeneous web data. Based on this repository, we propose a semi-automatic schema enrichment approach that efficiently augments the data in a "pay-as-you-go" fashion. Due to the inherently appearing ambiguities we further propose a crowd-based verification component that is able to resolve such conflicts in a scalable manner.
