foaf-search.net has been relaunched

hi all,

http://www.foaf-search.net/ has been relaunched:

We do not use a triple store any more - all important data is kept in a RDB.
Documents related to a person are crawled on demand and cached up to 24h.
The system can now display data on any dereferenceable URI. 

One of the components used is available on GitHub:

 https://github.com/michaelbrunnbauer/sparqlcrawlserver

Sparql Crawl Server is a Java Web application that crawls a list of URLs
with a specified timeout and executes a SPARQL query on the resulting graphs.
The results are cached on disk and in memory for a configureable amount of
time.

The new internal design of foaf-search.net enables faster crawling and better
scaling. We are curious how far it can be pushed.

As a side note: Does anyone know who is responsible for data.semanticweb.org 
and sdow.semanticweb.org ? Neither Stefan Decker nor Markus Kroetzsch were able
to tell me.

Regards,

Michael Brunnbauer
