Abstract. With the rapid advancement of mobile technologies, users are generating and consuming a significant amount of data on their handheld devices. However, the lack of Linked Data tools for these devices has left much of the data unstructured and difficult to reuse and integrate with other datasets. We will demonstrate an application development framework that enables the easy development of mobile apps that generate and con-sume Linked Data. We also provide a set of easy-to-deploy Web Services to supplement functionality for mobile apps focused on crowdsourcing. We motivate our work by describing a real-world application of this framework, which is a disaster relief application that streams crowd-sourced reports in real time. 1
