Hi Luca, You mean things like http://sameas.org/?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fdbpedia.org%2Fresource%2FEdinburgh I think. And for something many years old, and with other flags: http://www.rkbexplorer.com/network/?uri=http://southampton.rkbexplorer.com/id/person-2f876940347fe251382724b34c27346f-cb9c89b02b078212e440a8016915856a&type=person-person&format=foafknowsn3 So yes, they are out there (I have lots of other sites and services that do this), but no, I don’t know any research, or even what the topic might be. Actually, we use a more Cool URI/Restful-like invocation now: http://sociam-pub.ecs.soton.ac.uk/sameas/symbols/http%3A%2F%2Fdbpedia.org%2Fresource%2FEdinburgh is much preferable, I think. Hope that helps.
