Re: Potential Home for LOD Data Sets

Exciting stuff, Kingsley.
I'm not quite sure I have worked out how I might use it though.
The page says that hosting data is clearly free, but I can't see how to get at it without paying for it as an EC2 customer.
Is this right?
Cheers
Hugh

All,

Please see: <http://aws.amazon.com/publicdatasets/> ; potentially the
final destination of all published RDF archives from the LOD cloud.

I've already made a request on behalf of LOD, but additional requests
from the community will accelerate the general comprehension and
awareness at Amazon.

Once the data sets are available from Amazon, database constructions
costs will be significantly alleviated.

We have DBpedia reconstruction down to 1.5 hrs (or less) based on
Virtuoso's in-built integration with Amazon S3 for backup and
restoration etc..  We could get the reconstruction of the entire LOD
cloud down to some interesting numbers once all the data is situated in
an Amazon data center.
