Today's Web of Data is noisy. Linked Data often needs extensive preprocessing
to enable efficient use of heterogeneous resources. While consistent and valid
data provides the key to efficient data processing and aggregation we are
facing two main challenges: (1st) Identification of erroneous facts and
tracking their origins in dynamically connected datasets is a difficult task,
and (2nd) efforts in the curation of deficient facts in Linked Data are
exchanged rather rarely. Since erroneous data often is duplicated and
(re-)distributed by mashup applications it is not only the responsibility of a
few original publishers to keep their data tidy, but progresses to be a mission
for all distributers and consumers of Linked Data too. We present a new
approach to expose and to reuse patches on erroneous data to enhance and to add
quality information to the Web of Data. The feasibility of our approach is
demonstrated by example of a collaborative game that patches statements in
DBpedia data and provides notifications for relevant changes.Comment: 2nd International Workshop on Usage Analysis and the Web of Data
