------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The aim of this challenge is to test the performance of knowledge extraction systems in
aspects that are relevant for the Semantic Web. These include precision, recall and
runtime. The challenge will test the systems against data derived from real datasets.
We herewith invite system developers to participate in the aforementioned tasks.
The system developers are invited to write papers (5 page documents) presenting their
results on the training data (see important dates below). To ensure that the system
results are comparable, we will provide the HOBBIT benchmarking platform for the
generation of the final results to be included into the system publications.
A specification of the hardware on which the benchmarks will be ran will be released
in due course.

This year, the challenge comprises the following tasks:
-Task 1: Focused Named Entity Identification and Linking
-Task 2: Broader Named Entity Identification and Linking
-Task 3: Focused Musical Named Entity Recognition and Linking
-Task 4: Knowledge Extraction
