my suggestion is that lets just collect few 100$ (10$ each ?) and
purchase a EC2 machine upload it with _all_ semantic data, run a
sparql endpoint on it and keep it running for everyone's use.
fwiw - I already indicated that the following is about to happen:
1. All of LOD in an instance deployed like the current DBpedia instance
(from our data center) as per <http://b3s.openlinksw.com/> (that already
has 11 Billion Triples in it and simply needs an update re. DBpedia 3.2
and a few other data sets from LOD)
2. For those that have personal or service specific needs, a replica
will be on EC2 (as we've done with DBpedia).
Current roadmap re. EC2:
1. DBpedia - done
2. Neurocommons - WIP
3. Bio2RDF - WIP
4. Entier LOD Data Set collection - WIP
Of course, you can also put together the scheme you are suggesting also
via donation etc. The approaches the better (imho).

Thanks for the swift response!
I'm still puzzled - sorry to be slow.

Says:
Amazon EC2 customers can access this data by creating their
own personal Amazon EBS volumes, using the public data set
snapshots as a starting point. They can then access, modify
and perform computation on these volumes directly using their
Amazon EC2 instances and just pay for the compute and storage
resources that they use.
Does this not mean it costs me money on my EC2 account? Or is
there some other way of accessing the data? Or am I looking at
the wrong bit?
Okay, I see what I overlooked: the cost of paying for an AMI that
mounts these EBS volumes, even though Amazon is charging $0.00 for
uploading these huge amounts of data where it would usually charge.
So to conclude, using the loaded data sets isn't free, but I think
we have to be somewhat appreciative of a value here, right? Amazon
is providing a service that is ultimately pegged to usage (utility
model), and the usage comes down to value associated with that
scarce resource called time.
Ie Can you give me a clue how to get at the data without using
my credit card please? :-)
You can't you will need someone to build an EC2 service for you
and eat the costs on your behalf. Of course such a service isn't
impossible in a "Numerati" [1] economy, but we aren't quite there
yet, need the Linked Data Web in place first :-)

Exciting stuff, Kingsley.
I'm not quite sure I have worked out how I might use it
though.
The page says that hosting data is clearly free, but I
can't see how to get at it without paying for it as an EC2
customer.
Is this right?
Cheers
Hugh,
No, shouldn't cost anything if the LOD data sets are hosted in
this
particular location :-)

All,
Please see: <http://aws.amazon.com/publicdatasets/> ;
potentially the
final destination of all published RDF archives from the
LOD cloud.
I've already made a request on behalf of LOD, but
additional requests
from the community will accelerate the general
comprehension and
awareness at Amazon.
Once the data sets are available from Amazon, database
constructions
costs will be significantly alleviated.
We have DBpedia reconstruction down to 1.5 hrs (or less)
based on
Virtuoso's in-built integration with Amazon S3 for backup and
restoration etc.. We could get the reconstruction of the
entire LOD
cloud down to some interesting numbers once all the data
is situated in
an Amazon data center.
