*Subject:* Discovering a query endpoint associated with a given Linked Data resource

Hi,

Is there a standard or widely used way of discovering a query endpoint (SPARQL/LDF) associated with a given Linked Data resource?

I know that a client can use the "follow your nose" and related link traversal approaches such as [1], but if I wonder if it is possible to have a hybrid approach in which the dereferenceable Linked Data resources that optionally advertise query endpoint(s) in a standard way so that the clients can perform queries on related data.

To clarify the use case a bit, when a client dereferences a resource URI it gets a set of triples (an RDF graph) [2]. In some cases, it might be possible that the returned graph could be a subgraph of a named graph / default graph of an RDF dataset. The client wants to discover if a query endpoint that exposes the relevant dataset, if one is available.

For example, something like the following using the "search" link relation [3].

------

HEAD /resource/Sri_Lanka

Host: http://dbpedia.org

------

200 OK

Link: <http://dbpedia.org/sparql>; rel="search"; type="sparql", <http://fragments.dbpedia.org/2014/en#dataset>; rel="search"; type="ldf"

... other headers ...

------

Best Regards,

Nandana
