Re: Potential Home for LOD Data Sets

Thanks for the swift response!
I'm still puzzled - sorry to be slow.
http://aws.amazon.com/publicdatasets/#2
Says:
Amazon EC2 customers can access this data by creating their own personal Amazon EBS volumes, using the public data set snapshots as a starting point. They can then access, modify and perform computation on these volumes directly using their Amazon EC2 instances and just pay for the compute and storage resources that they use.

Does this not mean it costs me money on my EC2 account? Or is there some other way of accessing the data? Or am I looking at the wrong bit?
Ie Can you give me a clue how to get at the data without using my credit card please? :-)
Best
Hugh

Hugh,

No, shouldn't cost anything if the LOD data sets are hosted in this
particular location :-)
