No, I've always referred to: lod.openlinksw.com as "the LOD Cloud cache 
we maintain". And I am not going to stop. I know what its about, and I 
know why I've chosen that moniker.

Well, is they SPARQL any de-referencable URI they will get a result, as 
long as Sponging is enabled :-) When someone is interested we just show 
them how, in the worst case.

If a URI is de-referencable it will get into the LOD cloud cache 
instance via one of the following routes:

1. Explicit SPARQL + Sponger crawl query
2. Crawler Job
3. Bulk Uploads
4. Syncs with URIBurner and PTSW.

This is about smart cache invalidation schemes combined with SPARQL.

We don't obscure source URIs, even if we make Proxy URIs, the graph will 
always expose original de-referencable Entity URIs (where such exist) 
and expose URLs re. most basic provenance metadata (amongst other things 
expressed in HTTP metadata graphs). We also use the Provenance Ontology 
for additional clarity about all for this.

Not misleading anyone. I hope you understand what we are doing with 
additional clarity based on the above :-)
