Abstract

Due to the impressive growing of the LOD graph in the last years, assuring the quality of its content is becoming a very important issue. Thus, it is crucial to design techniques for supporting experts in validating facts and links in complex data sources. Here, we focus on identity links (sameAs) and apply argumentation semantics to (i) detect inconsistencies in sameAs statements and to (ii) explain them to the experts using dialogues. We formalize the framework, explaining its purposes. Finally we provide a promising preliminary evaluation and discuss on some interesting future directions we foresee.
