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

Hi,

you might find also interesting [1], an example application that acts as a client of the backlinking service [2] mentioned by Hugh.

This application uses the OpenSpace map API to generate Ordnance Survey URIs which are used to query the backlinking service [3]. In the data grid all the data items link to Linked Data resources.

The geographical containment is covered in the LOD-WWW accepted paper [4].
