Heuristic generation of dynamic quiz game using linked data and gamfication

In this paper, we propose a method to dynamically generate a quiz game which automatically renders a quiz based on a given topic on the fly leveraging the DBpedia database which is the most popular source of Linked Data. Linked Data is a paradigm to create a more machine-readable, structured web which shall form the underlying structure for the semantic web. In our attempt to develop the quiz, we propose solutions to two very critical problems having high magnitude applications, ranking a given set of properties for a given resource using machine learned ranking algorithms and recommending similar resources given a particular resource. The quiz also employs the gamification philosophy by offering a solution to clean the publically maintained data repositories of DBpedia and Wikipedia.
