Hello,

This is true, we do link to bbc.co.uk/music/artists in our foaf.qdos.com FOAF builder, which allows people to create/edit their FOAF profile (which we either host [as linked data] or export to webdav,flat file, etc to be hosted at the user's preferred location). But, I am guessing this particular instance of linkage would fall under the umbrella FOAF bubble in the cloud. The QDOS -> dbpedia links are specific to the qdos.com/user part of QDOS which we use to maintain a list of people (~100,000), and their online presence.

I think you should be - esp. as you also connect to the BBC linked data with stuff like:

<lastfm:favouriteArtist rdf:resource="http://www.bbc.co.uk/music/artists/e60e1f0b-1e8c-45e7-9d4a-222db9cb34f7#artist "/>

in the FOAF profiles you generate.

Hello,

Having just seen the bigger and better LOD cloud [1]. I was wondering
whether QDOS should have a link to DBpedia, as we emit owl:sameAs
relationships from celebs to dbpedia resources: see Barak Obama's
turtle file [2]. QDOS currently has around 100,000 people, about half
of which are linked to dbpedia resources.

Cheers,

Mischa

Hi Kingsley,

You have MySpace and Flickr Wrappers but still don't include all the
Virtuoso Sponger Cartridges (which are wrappers) to the Cloud [1] ?

The last time I checked the cartridges, I had the impression that
they were
not very much interlinked with the rest of the LOD cloud and about
half of
them were down.

The links to DBpedia were rather strange. For instance the first
link I
found owl:sameAs'ed Yahoo finance balance sheet with Dbpedia bed
sheet,
which is even for me as a big supporter of owl:sameAs links a bit
too much
Semantic gap.

Did you improve the quality of the external links in the meantime
and do the
cartridges regularly deliver data?

Another problem is that many of the sources are not really Open Data
as
various license restrictions apply.

Cheers

Chris

Hi all,

we are currently updating the LOD cloud. Find the draft here:
http://www4.wiwiss.fu-berlin.de/bizer/pub/lod- datasets_2009-02-27.png

We have already added:

1. the RKBExplorer cloud
2. the Bio2RDF cloud
3. the LODD cloud
4. GeoSpecies
5. LIBRIS

Statistics on triple and link count (as well as target sources) are
missing for the following sources:
- Faviki
- RDFohloh
- OpenCalais
- LIBRIS

Did we forget any new data sources or links between data sources?

Keep in mind: A data source qualifies for the cloud, if the data is
available via dereferencable URIs and if the data source is
interlinked with at least one other source (meaning it references
URIs
within the namespace of the other source).

Anja


Anja,

You have MySpace and Flickr Wrappers but still don't include all the
Virtuoso Sponger Cartridges (which are wrappers) to the Cloud [1] ?

Also, the LODD data sets page should be linked to:
http://esw.w3.org/topic/DataSetRDFDumps, so we can track down the
dumps
with ease re. the Virtuoso LOD hosting instance.
