Abstract

The provision of Linked Data about sporting results enables extensive statistics, while connections to further datasets allow enhanced and sophisticated analyses. Moreover, providing sports data as Linked Open Data may promote new applications, which are currently impossible due to the locked nature of today's proprietary sports databases. Though the sport domain is strongly underrepresented in the Linked Open Data Cloud. In this paper we present a dataset containing information about soccer entities crawled from heterogeneous sources and linked to related entities from the LOD cloud. To enable easy exploration and to illustrate the capabilities of the dataset a web interface is providing a structured overview and extensive statistics.
