To make this happen you need triples in one box and linked data deployment in another, but collectively served up from one point. You a data owner really have to use your URIs in order for their data to be exposed via your data space in reality?

What you are really doing here is defining the solution based on the technology choice you've made rather that looking at you technology choice in relation to the essence of the "Linked Data Web" that it seeks to bolster. > > If that sounds appealing, then people can avail of those services in > the way I outlined earlier in this thread.
