Please note, I was trying to tell you that there once lived a Linked 
Data Space that was put in place for dog-fooding. It came to be in 2008 
prior to WWW2008 in Beijing.

As I said, Tom Heath nuked it, you should be able to find the thread 
about this via mailing list archives.

Please digest what I am saying.

Yes, I do understand all of that :-)

And even more, I await the RDF data at this URL: 
<http://linkeddata.org/data> <http://linkeddata.org/data#swig>

That was about history, the Linked Data Space has long gone. Of course, 
I can make another one, but I am not going to use linkeddata.org, after 
my last experience.

Why speak for Tom? Why jump to conclusions about ODS? This has little to 
do with ODS (since http://community.linkeddata.org was just a DNS entry 
mapped to a space I set up).

Can't get an N3 representation of my profile at: 
<http://kingsley.idehen.name/dataspace/person/kidehen> or 
<http://kingsley.idehen.net/dataspace/person/kidehen> ? Both of which 
are produced by ODS post account creation with FOAF+SSL to boot, all in 
5 minutes or less.

Again, dog-fooding, of course you shouldn't need Google, but until you 
feel the pain, asking you to perform a Precision Search and Find would 
sound like nothing more than a product sales pitch :-)

Tell me about it :-)
