Re: How many instances of foaf:Person are there in the LOD Cloud?

re

Here is the current top 25 for foaf-search.net (Number of RDF documents per
second level domain). dbpedia is not included because we used the dumps and
livejournal.com was not crawled completely. Not all RDF documents are about
persons. We index every document containing a foaf:name or foaf:nick
predicate.

opera.com	247281
ecademy.com	224875
livejournal.com	221321
identi.ca	192732
insanejournal.com	183046
ac.uk	176452 (mostly eprints.soton.ac.uk and eprints.ecs.soton.ac.uk)
deadjournal.com	161659
spin.de	131959
rambler.ru	111119
mybloglog.com	53633
i.ua	43727 (narod.i.ua)
dreamwidth.org	39471
smart.fm	38945
dbtune.org	36498
bibliographica.org	34795
rdfabout.com	30237
rpi.edu	29913
co.uk	25073 (mostly ordnancesurvey.co.uk)
qdos.com	18816
wasab.dk	18763
sapo.pt	17029
photozou.jp	14560
phitter.com	11823
