Dear all,

We are very happy to announce QALD-4, the fourth in a series of
evaluation campaigns on multilingual question answering over linked
data, this time with a strong emphasis on interlinked data and hybrid
question answering.

In the context of the question answering lab at CLEF 2014
(http://nlp.uned.es/clef-qa/), we offer three open challenges:

     Task 1: Multilingual question answering over DBpedia
     Task 2: Biomedical question answering over interlinked data
     Task 3: Hybrid question answering

All relevant information about training and test phase as well as the
lab can be found on our website:

The training phase starts now, and the further schedule is as follows:

Release of test data: April 1, 2014
Submission deadline:  May 1, 2014
Release of results:   May 8, 2014
Workshop:             September, 2014


We cordially invite everyone working on question answering over linked
data to participate, and look forward to another exciting challenge!
