Re: Zhishi.me

Thanks for posting this Ivan.

I may have crashed the site :-( I was playing around with the SPARQL endpoint, which doesn't support SPARQL 1.1, mostly returns Gateway Timeouts, and eventually stopped working altogether, taking the site with it. :-(

SPARQL store performance aside, this is an impressive and promising project.

The paper can be read in the Google Cache:

I made an entry on the Data Hub (the site formerly known as CKAN):

I am not sure of the exact numbers, but the combined result, under the name of Zhishi.me, is of the same magnitude in size than dbpedia. Just like dbpedia acted as a seed for the LOD, the idea is that zhishi.me will act as a seed to pull in more linked data from China.
