RE: New Calais proxy could grow Linked Data Cloud

does anyone else expect/hope that the "Linked Data" part of
"dereferenceable Linked Data URIs " implies that these URIs will be
linked up to, for instance, dbPedia, umbel, musicbrainz, etc etc?
otherwise it wouldn't really be "linked data" per se, no?
 
also, does this imply a more sophisticated disambiguation service
(cambridge mass usa or cambridge uk?) than Calais currently offers?
 
anyway, if this is the direction that Calais is going, it'll make their
service so much more useful, i think...

	Paul,
	
	How does this actually benefit or contribute to the Linked Data
Cloud? 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.

raham_lincoln - Document about Abraham Lincoln
	2.
http://demo.openlinksw.com/about/html/http://demo.openlinksw.com/about/r
df/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/r
df/http://www.crunchbase.com/company/thomson-reuters%23this - Thompson
Reuters the Entity of type foaf:Organization that is also a sioc:Item
	4.
