The European Data Forum 2012 (EDF2012) is a meeting place for industry, research, policymakers and community initiatives to discuss the challenges of Big Data and the emerging Data Economy and to develop suitable action plans for addressing these challenges. Of special focus within the EDF are Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs), since they are driving innovation and competition in many data-driven economic sectors. The range of topics discussed at the European Data Forum ranges from novel data-driven business models (e.g. data clearing houses), over technology innovations (e.g. Linked Data Web) to societal aspects (e.g. open governmental data as well as data privacy and security).

In December, the Post Summit Paper by Christian Bizer, Peter Boncz, Michael Brodie and Orri Erling has been published in the newest volume of SIGMOD Record.
The report results from discussions held at 2011 STI International Semantic Summit within a group of twenty-five researchers, on the meaningful use of Big Data. The four authors each put forward a challenge: multi-disciplinary Big Data integration, the Billion Triple Challenge from the Semantic Web community, getting value out of government linked open data, and integrating linked data in regular DBMSs.
