Re: ArtistData...

Christopher,

> LinkingOpenData-ed

LOL.

Why not just create the verb... let's get it "LOD'ed" or "loded".

Let's get this database "loded".
Or, let's LOD this database. ( Link as Open Data ).

Neither "lod" nor "loded" are english words.

Or, you can also try the shorter version:

Could you Open and Link your Data Sources using Open Source OpenLink
Data Spaces so it adds to the Linked Open Data Cloud?

...Please?

Best,
A

PS: OpenLink Data Spaces is built atop Virtuoso, which can actually be
used for this. The word didn't fit ;)
