The Dynamic Linked Data Observatory is a framework to monitor Linked Data over an extended period of time. The core goal of our work is to collect frequent, continuous snapshots of a subset of the Web of Data that is interesting for further study and experimentation, with an aim to capture raw data about the dynamics of Linked Data. The resulting corpora will be made openly and continuously available to the Linked Data research community.
This tutorial shows how to do a visual analysis and basic statistical analysis of the data in the Linked Open Piracy data set. It makes use of the SPARQL Package for R and the ggmap package. For another tutorial of how to use the SPARQL Package, in combination with the sp package for spatial processing, check out the deforestation tutorial.
