Re: LOD cloud diagram ?

Hi

If the point is querying to produce live visualizations, ando not only
static images, CSV can be used under certain conditions (with very small
modifications) to represent a stream of triples, serialized in N-TRIPLES.
This may be useful to simplify progressive querying (which will happened
when playing "live" on graphs), and may be a reusable approach (as long as
we are not using json-ld already, for example :-), as it permits to
querying also things that may not support SPARQL, as in the LDF.

my two cents,
Alfredo
