Updated LOD Cloud Diagram - First draft and last feedback.

Hi all,

on July 24th, we published a Linked Open Data (LOD) Cloud diagram containing
"crawlable" linked datasets and asked the community to point us at further
datasets that our crawler has missed [1]. 

Lots of thanks to everybody that did respond to our call and did enter
missing datasets into the DataHub catalog [2].

Based on your feedback, we have now drawn a draft version of the LOD cloud
containing:
1.	the datasets that our crawler discovered
2.	the datasets that did not allow crawling
3.	the datasets you pointed us at.

The new version of the cloud altogether contains 558 linked datasets which
are connected by altogether 2883 link sets. As we were pointed at quite a
number of linguistic datasets [3], we added linguistic data as a new
category to the diagram.

The current draft version of the LOD Cloud diagram is found at:

Please note that we only included datasets that are accessible via
dereferencable URIs and are interlinked with other datasets.
 
It would be great if you could check if we correctly included your datasets
into the diagram and whether we missed some link sets pointing from your
datasets to other datasets.

If we did miss something, it would be great if you could point us at what we
have missed and update your entry in the DataHub catalog [2] accordingly.

Please send us feedback until August 20th. Afterwards, we will finalize the
diagram and publish the final August 2014 version.

Cheers,

Chris, Max and Heiko
