The 1st Summer Datathon on Linguistic Linked Open Data (SD-LLOD-15) will be held from June 15th to 19th 2015 at Residencia Lucas Olazábal of Universidad Politécnica de Madrid, Cercedilla, Madrid.
The SD-LLOD datathon has the main goal of giving people from industry and academia practical knowledge in the field of Linked Data applied to Linguistics. The final aim is to allow participants to migrate their own (or other's) linguistic data and publish them as Linked Data on the Web. This datathon is the first organized in this topic worldwide and is supported by the LIDER FP7 Support Action

During the datathon, seminars will be organised to cover:
With the objective of avoiding passive learning, the program of the summer datathon will contain three types of sessions:
Participants are expected to bring to the datathon some dataset of linguistic data produced by their organizations in order to work on it during the hacking sessions and transformed into Linked Data. For participants who cannot provide their own linguistic dataset, the organisers will provide one.
Participants will be provided with digital copies of all the material used during the course and will have access to computers with all the required software pre-installed.
We welcome participants from anywhere in the world and coming from industry or academia. Some basic acquaintance with software development and Web technologies is required. Participants are expected to participate fully in the activities of the datathon until its conclusion.
