I added this feature to the Semantic Web Client Library back in August. Not 
only to follow the inverse of rdfs:seeAlso, but, to follow the inverse of RDF 
links in general. And it works great. Take, for instance, the triple pattern

 ?p rdfs:range <http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/Person>

Without Sindice support the Semantic Web Client Library finds one matching 
triple for this pattern in the Web. With Sindice support the lib found six 
distinct results in my tests in August [1]. Today it finds 55!

Thanks to the Sindice team for your great work.

Greetings,
Olaf
