<h2>Abstract</h2>
<!-- 200 word summary of the workshop purpose -->
<!-- CONTEXT: Why the need is so pressing or important -->
<!-- NEED: Why something needed to be done at all -->
<!-- TASK: What was undertaken to address the need -->
<!-- OBJECT: What the present document does or covers -->
<!-- FINDINGS: What the work done yielded or revealed -->
<!-- CONCLUSION :What the findings mean for the audience -->
<!-- PERSPECTIVES: What the future holds, beyond this work -->
<p>The steady adoption of Linked Data in recent years has led to a
significant increase in the volume of RDF datasets. The potential
of this Semantic Big Data is under-exploited when data management
is based on traditional, human-readable RDF representations, which
add unnecessary overheads when storing, exchanging and consuming
RDF in the context of a large-scale and machine-understandable
Semantic Web. HDT tackles this issue by proposing a binary
representation for RDF data. HDT can be seen as a compressed,
self-contained triple store for RDF. On the one hand, HDT
represents RDF with compact data structures that enable the
storage, parsing and loading of Big Semantic Data in compressed
space. At the same time, “the HDT data are the index”, and thus
it can be used as a graph data store that reports competitive
querying performance. In this tutorial we will focus on providing
a hands-on experience with HDT. We will also welcome external
presentations on related topics and a discussion on next steps for
the interested community.</p>
</section>
<section id="motivation">
<h2>Motivation</h2>
<p>
Although the amount of RDF data has grown impressively over the last decade,
traditional RDF representations are dominated by a document-centric, human-readable view,
hence they suffer from scalability problems due to the huge space they need,
the powerful resources required to manage them, and the large time required for data retrieval on the Web.
</p>
<p>
This scenario calls for efficient and functional representation formats for RDF
as an essential tool for RDF preservation, sharing, and management.
HDT fills this gap and proposes a compact data structure and binary serialization format
that keeps big datasets compressed,
saving space while maintaining search and browse operations without prior decompression.
This makes it an ideal format for storing and sharing RDF datasets on the Web.</p>
<p>
HDT has been adopted by the Semantic Web community because of
its simplicity and its performance for data retrieval
operations. It is worth noting that it is successfully
deployed in projects
like <a href="http://linkeddatafragments.org/">Linked Data
Fragments</a>, which provides a uniform and lightweight
interface to access RDF in the Web, indexing/reasoning systems
like HDT-FoQ or WaterFowl, recommender systems, mobile
applications, and it is the main store behind
the <a href="http://lodlaundromat.org/">LOD Laundromat</a>
project serving a crawl of a very big subset of the Linked
Open Data Cloud. Thus, we expect this tutorial will be of
particular relevance to ISWC, since it raises awareness of a
practical technology for managing and serving Big Semantic Data.
</p>
<!-- Why is the topic timely and of particular interest to ISWC participants? What is the relation of this tutorial to other similar tutorials presented at other events? -->
</section>
<section id="description">
<h2>Detailed Description</h2>
<!-- Length (full day or half day), overview of content and schedule, description of learning outcomes, presentation style, tutorial format, justification of length if full day (why a half-day tutorial would not suffice), prior knowledge required by the attendees (No longer than two pages) -->
<p>
The HDT tutorial will be held in
an innovative format in order to elicit unanswered questions
about the HDT technology and the Big Semantic Data community.
Thus, the program will be split into two parts, with a
knowledge sharing session (tutorial) and participant
presentations and open discussion (workshop).
</p>
<p>
The knowledge sharing session will be composed of practical and hands-on lessons to acquire the following skills:
</p>
<ul>
<li> Foundations of HDT: representation, data management and data retrieval operations.
</li>
<li> Development libraries, practical tools and use of HDT within Apache Jena.
</li>
<li> Use of HDT through the Triple Pattern Fragments API.
</li>
<li> Use of HDT within LOD Laundromat and the LOD Lab.
</li>
</ul>
<p>
The interactive workshop will consists of short presentations
and demos from invited speakers, as well as the response to our call for papers and call for action.
The last session will be dedicated to establishing collaborations and defining concrete next steps
towards better organizing our community and materialising actions to increase the impact on Linked Data management.

<h2>Tutorial Material</h2>
<!-- Overview of the material used for the tutorial. In case of slides, handouts or other teaching material please specify when the material will be made available and how (e.g, under a CC license to anyone, only to the attendees, not at all, and so on) (One to three paragraphs)-->
<p>
Material will be composed of slides, code snippets, datasets
and existing libraries in <a href="https://github.com/rdfhdt">https://github.com/rdfhdt</a>.
All tutorial material will be available to anyone on Github
and the project website <a href="http://rdfhdt.org">http://rdfhdt.org</a>.

<section id="audience">
<h2>Audience</h2>
<!-- Who and how many people are likely to attend?
(One paragraph) -->
We expect to attract Linked Data researchers and
practitioners, in particular data publishers and consumers.
The audience will benefit from attending this tutorial by
learning about ways to scale up large semantic data management
and data retrieval, as well as by being able to discuss their
expectations, requirements and experiences with current RDF
representations and triple stores at large scale. We aim for
an audience of at least 20 people.
</section>
<section id="EOI">
<h2>Call for contributions</h2>
<!-- Audio-visual or technical requirements and any special room requirements (One to two paragraphs). -->
The main aim of the interactive workshop is to foster new ideas and perspectives on the HDT technology. We encourage any kind of contribution related to HDT and Big Semantic Data: use cases, research and demo papers making use of HDT, system descriptions, visionary papers, etc. Submissions will be managed through EasyChair (a link to the system will be provided soon). All relevant submissions will be shortly presented in the tutorial and the material will be published in this web for permanent archival.
