Hi all, At Open Knowledge Foundation Belgium we have been working for a couple of years on a tool which assists organisations to publish data. It provides an HTTP API which supports most of the REST principles on top of all kinds of datasets. You can then get the data in RDF, if there is an RDF representation available, in JSON/XML/CSV or even on a basic visualisation. The data is not stored in The DataTank, it is only adapted. It's Open Source and the new version has just been launched. We would love to welcome new contributors, testers (feel free to open issues on github), people who integrate it with existing data portals (e.g., CKAN and Drupal integration is work in progress), and so on. Github: http://github.com/tdt/core Demo: http://demo.thedatatank.com Docs: http://docs.thedatatank.com The feature that may be most interesting for this community is the SPARQL source. With one curl command, or with a couple of clicks, you can proxy a SPARQL query on a SPARQL endpoint in no time. This might be interesting if you don't want to host a public SPARQL endpoint, but you do want to publish some entities in your triplestore. Example resource which fetches data from dbpedia: http://demo.thedatatank.com/dbpedia/stations Kind regards, Pieter Colpaert -- +32 486 74 71 22 Open Knowledge Foundation Belgium http://okfn.be Open Transport Working Group OKFN http://transport.okfn.org
