I ask specifically because URIs (of the dereferencable variety) are missing in action. Hopefully, I am completely overlooking something here :-) We tend to use the term "Proxy" or "Wrapper" to describe solutions in the Linked Data realm that generate dereferencable URIs based RDF graphs (aka. Linked Data Spaces) "on the fly" via RDF-ization middleware. If possible, please encourage the OpenCalais folks (Tom et al.) to respond to my comments above via a response to this post. Example Proxy / Wrapper URIs in the wild: 1. http://demo.openlinksw.com/proxy/html/http://www.freebase.com/view/en/abraham_lincoln - Document about Abraham Lincoln 2. http://demo.openlinksw.com/about/html/http://demo.openlinksw.com/about/rdf/http://www.freebase.com/view/en/abraham_lincoln%23this - Abraham Lincoln the Entity of type foaf:Person that is also a sioc:Item 3. http://demo.openlinksw.com/about/html/http://demo.openlinksw.com/about/rdf/http://www.crunchbase.com/company/thomson-reuters%23this - Thompson Reuters the Entity of type foaf:Organization that is also a sioc:Item 4. http://www4.wiwiss.fu-berlin.de/flickrwrappr/photos/Thomson_Reuters - Thompson Reuters photos from Flickr 5. http://demo.openlinksw.com/rdfbrowser2/?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww4.wiwiss.fu-berlin.de%2Fflickrwrappr%2Fphotos%2FThomson_Reuters - Browser view of the data space exposed by the Flickr wrapper URI -- Regards, Kingsley Idehen Weblog: http://www.openlinksw.com/blog/~kidehen President & CEO OpenLink Software Web: http://www.openlinksw.com
