Following on Kjetil's post about a Sparql interface to my.opera.com data, I've set up a similar Sparql-over-Http interface to GovTrack's data. A web form is here: http://www.govtrack.us/sparql.xpd You can access the data following the SPARQL Protocol spec over HTTP here: http://www.govtrack.us/sparql The GovTrack [1] data has around 10 million triples containing census data for U.S. locations (including lat/long), brief biographical data for all members of Congress, and mainly data for federal legislation and voting records going back five years. The SPARQL interface is powered by Ryan Levering's engine (designed for SESAME but usable independently) [2], plus my SemWeb library for C# [3]. The data store is persisted in MySQL. Responses are limited to 1000 rows in the hopes that having this public won't break anything. :) And of course feedback is welcome.
