Hi, If you'll forgive the product announcement, I wanted to let people know that we've launched the Kasabi Public Beta today. The announcement is here [1] and the beta side is accessible from [2] The beta includes RDF data hosting and Linked Data publishing, the API supports importing of RDFa data too. The dataset directory is available as RDF and there are VoiD descriptions of each dataset, e.g. [4]. We're using a simple experimental vocabulary extension to VoiD [5] to point to additional APIs relating to a dataset [5]. This is to allow clients to boot-strap discovery of services in a RESTful way. The site allows uses to create APIs either using the Linked Data API specification, or something that we're calling SPARQL Stored Procedures [6]. The goal is to support as broad a range of data access options as possible, and enable new ways for developers to share their skills. E.g. simplifying access to a dataset by creating a simpler API over a SPARQL query, or just sharing SPARQL queries for a particular dataset. I'd welcome feedback on any of these features. We have a separate developer list at [7] for more detailed discussion, but there are some general features and services which I think are of interest to this community :) Cheers, L.
