Hugh,

Absolutely!

For instance, a EC2 based instance of DBpedia will do the following:

1. Localize the de-referencing task (i.e. not pass this on to general 
public instance of DBpedia)
2. Project triples that connect back to the <http://dbpedia.org> via 
owl:sameAs (*this was basically what Dan was clarifying in our exchange 
earlier this week*)

The fundamental goal is to use Federation to propagate Linked Data 
(meme, value prop., and business models) :-)

btw - Neurocommons is a data set is now live at the following locations:

1. http://kingsley.idehen.name (*temporary as I simply used this to set 
up the AMI and verify the entire DB construction process)
2. http://ec2-67-202-37-125.compute-1.amazonaws.com/ (*instance set up 
by Hugh to double-verify what I did*)

Neurcommons takes about 14hrs+ to construct under the best of 
circumstances. The process is now 1.15 hrs and you have your own 
personal or service specific neurocommons database.

Next stop, Bio2Rdf :-)
