Testbed services facilitate the shared development of open, globally distributed testbeds for developing, deploying and testing Semantic Web technologies and Semantic Web Services
at planetary scale.

Challenge services offer participants the chance to show the best of the Semantic Web and Semantic Web Services technologies in execution. By encouraging people to solve problems and compare the results, we hope to collect the “best of breed”, developing the best and most relevant technologies possible.
