Re: Re-address the subject of Bidirectional links..?

Hi,

You might find http://backlinks.psi.enakting.org/ interesting; it extracts
backlinks, often combining with sameas.org (which is itself of course a
specialist backlinking service).
It also has an option to enable geographical containment as an implied
backlink.

I suspect that what was true of the text web will be true of the web of data
for much the same reasons.

Best
Hugh
