Do you have an actual example of that? I had a look at the docs and I
couldn't see how/where the Guardian API data was being surfaced. The
meta cartridge seems to pull a small amount of info from the Guardian
website, rather than the OpenPlatform.

boundaries between the Linked Data cloud and other APIs and services?

What do people think of more tailored lookup and access services onto
Linked Data over and above simple follow your nose and SPARQL?
