Re: How to publish SPARQL endpoint limits/metadata?

Hi Frans,

> I am experimenting with running SPARQL endpoints and I notice the need to impose some limits to prevent overloading/abuse. The easiest and I believe fairly common way to do that is to LIMIT the number of results that the endpoint will return for a single query. 

What about providing a dump page where you put a VoID or DCAT description of the ALL dataset… (here describing the actual size)
And for the SPARQL endpoint , just upload a *SMALL* size of it (with a LIMIT configuration here )

I guess it will all depends on your endpoint backend (fuseki, virtuoso, OWLIM ,etc). Some comes with configuration files where you can set the limit of the maximum results.
