Adopting Linguistic Linked Data Principles: Insights on Users’ Experience

Despite the advantages, Linguistic Linked Data (LLD) best practices and principles seem to be far away from being widely adopted. Such a situation can be related to existing challenges in the creation, reusing, and exposing of LLD resources. In this paper, we present the results of a survey which investigated users’ perspective and experience in the use and application of LLD principles, to evaluate the impact, prospects, requirements, or challenges encountered in LLD adoption. The survey was organized in several sections to collect information about participants’ background, LLD knowledge, use, development, publishing, and metadata use. The results show that some bounds have to be overstepped to ensure the penetration of LLD principles in a wider community and fully exploit their potential.
