The MICO broker: An orchestration framework for linked data extractors

This paper describes the MICO broker, a management and orchestration framework for Linked Data extractors. It outlines the initial version of the broker, illustrates the key challenges and requirements for extractor orchestration in the MICO project, and provides an improved MICO broker design and implementation that addresses these key challenges. The paper describes the interaction with the Linked Data approach applied in MICO for this purpose, especially regarding the broker data model, semi-automatic workflow creation and workflow execution.
