RE: Survey of RDF data on the Web

Hi Dan,

Yes, we did traverse those. They were checked as part of the last search
strategy (section 2.4). Out of about 800 rdfs:seeAlso references found, 15
previously unseen URLs were obtained.

I agree. I really like the FOAF project. I'm convinced that these
applications are the much needed incentive for people to start using RDF.
