1. Introduction Within the first year of the project the consortium has achieved already significant public visibility
though the various channels. Based on the expert review provided by the EU in the first year review meeting the consortium added the following main topics to the on-going activities for the second year dissemination:
1. Online Demo Server1 and Tutorial material to facilitate the learning curve in using the GeoKnow tools. 2.5.2 provides more details about the Demo Server and Tutorials and 2.5.6 introduces the new GeoKnow manual.
2. Benchmarking of the tools. In 2.2 we provide information about the GeoBenchLab. 3. Maintenance of the stack and support beyond the project run time (see 3.5) 4. Validating the usage of more geo-spatial data sources
1.1 Dissemination Channels The dissemination channels as described in the dissemination report D7.1.3 remain the same. The
Web-based Showcases on http://generator.geoknow.eu/ has been mainly extended with the video tutorials.
In section 2.5 we will provide an update on the multi-channel activities, especially provide statistics on the usage.
2. Second Year Activity Report
This section describes the dissemination activities during the second year of the project. We begin by describing the dissemination activities targeted at scientific and specialised communities such as: deliverables, publications, software tools and participation in events. The section concludes with descriptions of activities carried out for the general and global audience.
2.1 Released Deliverables
GeoKnow deliverables report the detailed research and other activities carried out within the project. During this second period (M12 to M24) 22 deliverables related to work package 1 to 7 have been produced. They are listed in the Table 1. All these deliverables are available on the project website, where deliverables with Confidential dissemination level require authentication to be accessed.

2.2 Open Source Projects and Software Tools The produced software tools in GeoKnow are made accessible in three major ways. First, we
provide access to the source code using the online revision control system service GitHub2, second we provide access to the components that can be downloaded, installed and executed from the Linked Data Stack URL http://stack.linkeddata.org/ and finally we provide an online version that acts as a demo and trail version on http://generator.geoknow.eu/. The source code created by the GeoKnow partners is available on: https://github.com/GeoKnow. In the last 12 months we have created 25 new projects and several updates including:
25 new software components from research work-packages o E.g. Facete2, Jassa-UI-Angular, JSON-LD-ID-Template, GeoBenchLab3, GeoStats
10 updates on the existing software components

A special focus in the second year was also the benchmarking of the tools in particular geospatial querying and data integration. The result of the GeoBenchLab is provided under the following link: https://github.com/GeoKnow/GeoBenchLab.
2.3 Published scientific papers
The GeoKnow project has continued dissemination to the scientific community by means of the publication of scientific articles and papers. During M12 to M24 of the GeoKnow project, the consortium has published over 33 different publications. These publications are available for look up at GeoKnow website4, and an excerpt listed next:

2.5 Multi-channel Dissemination Within the second year we have continued to promote our activities using the same channels as in
the first year. A supplement to the web page is the online portal for the GeoKnow generator and the tutorials that is available under http://generator.geoknow.eu/.
Figure 1: Publications tags
2.5.1 Geoknow.eu The website is continuously updated with the new deliverables, publications and presentations. A
new feature implemented this year in the website is to be able to visualize the topics that are publications about in the Publications section6.

D7.1.4 – v. 1.0
Page 14
Using tag features in bibsonomy, authors are able to describe their publications using tags, and these tags are used for the visualization of topics. Figure 1 presents a screen shoot of the topic cloud.
Finally, some analytics of the website activities is presented in the Appendix.
2.5.2 Generator Online Demo This web page serves as an online demo that starts the various tools that are part of the GeoKnow
geo-spatial linked data life-cycle. To facilitate the usage, Ontos has created 4 videos that explain how to use the major tools and the Generator. The videos are available on the web page or on the YouTube channel of GeoKnow. http://generator.geoknow.eu/videos.html
2.5.3 Blog One important communication channel for the project is the Blog because we can provide detailed
information about our activities and the software tools. The following table presents the 13 blog post published during this year, authors and publication date.

2.5.4 Social Networks We have continued to inform the community about our progress using the social networks that
we have established in the first year.
Statistics about the individual channels is provided in the appendix. The following list serves as an entry point to access the various social network channels:

2.5.5 W3C Community Group The established community group on http://www.w3.org/community/geosemweb/ has
currently 63 members and has grown by 20% since January 2014.
The current plan is to align this group with the activities led by Phil Archer (W3C) and the W3C/OGC Geo Data on the Web Working Group (http://www.w3.org/2014/05/geo-charter). Phil Archer has presented the draft of the W3C/OGC at the GeoLD7 workshop organised by the GeoKnow team during the SEMANTICS conference in September 2014. GeoKnow consortium will follow and participate within this charter in order to contribute with the findings from the GeoKnow project.
2.5.6 Other Dissemination Activities The flyer about the project and the partners has been updated and includes the topic of the
enlargement and the contact information to the new partner IMP (Institute Mihailo Pupin).
In order to facilitate the handling of the GeoKnow software tools the consortium has developed a user handbook that explains the usage of the individual steps. The handbook will be continuously adapted and promoted on the project web page and on the Demo portal. A first version of the GeoKnow handbook is available under:
http://svn.aksw.org/projects/GeoKnow/Papers/GeoKnow_Handbook/
http://svn.aksw.org/projects/GeoKnow/Public/GeoKnow-Handbook.pdf
2.5.7 Activities Summary A summary of the activities realised in this period in the different communication channels are
presented in the following table.

This section has presented the dissemination activities and community building efforts carried our in the 2nd year of the GeoKnow project. Next section provides information about the 3rd and final year of the project.
3. Third Year Dissemination Plan In the third and last year, we will continue generating activities in the different dissemination
channels. For global and general audience, we will continue making use of internet-based communication channels creating blog posts, increasing our presence on social networks, making public new software projects, and focus on the W3C/OGC group.
Another focus will be on benchmarking and publishing those results. Further we expect to publish more details about the use cases from Unister and Brox.

3.5 Other Activities Within the 3rd year the team will continue to update the GeoKnow handbook, extend video
tutorials, update the online demo server and prepare software packages for downloading and immediate use.
The GeoKnow team has agreed to take over the maintenance of the linked data stack from the LOD2 project as this project concluded the research. It was also agreed that the maintenance of the linked data stack8 will go beyond the end of the GeoKnow project. Currently Ontos and University Leipzig (InfAI) agreed to do the maintenance of the linked data stack.
