Well done. This makes me think I should update the binary ontology [1,2] to accept the LON representation of 1. -- tBs [1] http://projects.semwebcentral.org/?page_id=37 [2] http://projects.semwebcentral.org/ont/2008/04/01/binary-ont.n3 > -----Original Message----- > From: semantic-web-request@w3.org [mailto:semantic-web-request@w3.org] > On Behalf Of Denny Vrandecic > Sent: Thursday, April 01, 2010 5:59 AM > To: semantic-web@w3.org > Subject: KIT releases 14 billion triples to the Linked Open Data cloud > > We are happy to announce that the Institute AIFB at the KIT is > releasing the biggest dataset until now to the Linked Open Data cloud. > The Linked Open Numbers project offers billions of facts about natural > numbers, all readily available as Linked Data. > > Our accompanying peer-reviewed paper [1] gives further details on the > background and implementation.
