Call for Systems - MIGHTY STORAGE CHALLENGE
ESWC 2017, May 28th, 2017 to June 1st​, 2017 Portoroz, Slovenia.
https://project-hobbit.eu/challenges/mighty-storage-challenge/


The aim of the mighty storage challenge is to test the performance of solutions for SPARQL processing in aspects that are relevant for modern applications. These include ingesting data, answering queries on large datasets and serving as backend for applications driven by Linked Data. The proposed challenge will test the systems against data derived from real applications and with realistic loads. An emphasis will be put on dealing with changing data in form of streams or updates. This version of the challenge (which we aim to run periodically for at least 3 years) will comprise the following tasks:

1. RDF Data ingestion Task will measure how well systems can ingest streams of RDF data.
2. Data storage Benchmark Task will measure how data stores perform with different types of queries.
3. Versioning RDF Data Task will measure how well versioning and archiving systems for Linked Data perform when they store multiple versions of large data sets.
4. Browsing Task will check existing solutions for how well they support applications that need browsing through large data sets.

More details on the different tasks can be found here: https://project-hobbit.eu/challenges/mighty-storage-challenge/
