Kingsley, Gio, All, An idea that arose out of a recent discussion with Juergen (in CC): how about providing a sort of 'bulk data request' facility for your SPARQL endpoints [1] [2] (as they are, I gather, the more popular ones on the WoD ;)? It could work as follows: 1. Someone uploads a VoID description [3] of the targeted datasets and provides an email, Twitter, G+ handle or a WebID 2. You could generate the 'customized' dataset internally in a very efficient manner. 3. Once available, the requester is notified by means of the provided back-channel from 1. I believe such a system in place would lower the crawling and bulk- query costs re bandwidth, etc. on your end, and opens up a business opportunity as well (think: WebID <-> Web Payments). What do you think?
