RE: Bio2RDF vs Linked Life Data

Hi,
No I don't know this one.  Is  there any more information?  What is the purpose of this repository? What datasets are cached? I tried clicking on the datasets link in the About tab, but get an error message " Resource /void/Dataset not found.".

So this adds to my confusion. What are the differences between Bio2RDF, Linked Life Data, and OpenLink? Obviously, included datasets, but I have compared Bio2RDF and Linked Life Data on this dimension (and will soon, if I can get a list from OpenLink), but there is a lot of overlap.  Other people must be also facing this choice, no? Are all of these sites stable? Up to date? How well do they work with tools like Silk? What if I eventually want to use a crawler like LSSpider instead of dumps, so that my results stay up to date? I would assume that these are all questions that application developers who want to use Linked Open Data would be asking.

Thanks,

Have you looked at our live 50 Billion+ triples based LOD Cloud Cache 
[1] which does include data loaded from these projects, where the data 
is available as an RDF dump. You can start via a simple keyword search.
