The 2014 edition of the Linked Data Mining Challenge, conducted in conjunction with Know@LOD 2014, has been the third edition of this challenge.The underlying data came from two domains: public procurement, and researcher collaboration.Like in the previous year, when the challenge was held at the Data Mining on Linked Data workshop co-located with the European Conference on Machine Learning and Principles and Practice of Knowledge Discovery in Databases (ECML PKDD 2013), the response to the challenge appeared lower than expected, with only one solution submitted for the predictive task this year.We have tried to track the reasons for the continuously low participation in the challenge via a questionnaire survey, and principles have been distilled that could help organizers of future similar challenges.
