A quick way to determine if anything exists is to query the instance at: http://lod.openlinksw.com (which is a Virtuoso instance hosting 80% of the LOD cloud; actually most of the really large data sets are there already including LODD, Uniprot, Bio2RDF, NeuroCommons, etc..). Just put in a text pattern, then use the "usage analysis" link to see details about cross linkage etc.. Now that the instance is reaching a point of stability, we can turn our attention to a VoiD graph that describes this huge Linked Data space. Naturally, the SPARQL endpoint is at: http://lod.openlinksw.com/sparql . -- Regards, Kingsley Idehen Weblog: http://www.openlinksw.com/blog/~kidehen President & CEO OpenLink Software Web: http://www.openlinksw.com
