Explain-a-LOD

Heiko Paulheim · 2012

While statistics are omnipresent, e.g., depicting the corruption in different countries, it is often not trivial to find the explanation for a statistical effect, e.g., why the corruption is higher in some countries than in others. The necessary facts that can explain a statistic are often not contained in the statistics file itself. This demo shows Explain-a-LOD, a tool for generating possible explanations for statistics from Linked Open Data. The tool accepts statistical data as input, and it automatically retrieves data from the Linked Open Data cloud and generates possible explanations.
