Re: sameAs.org

Hi Hugh,

Very relevant to me, as I wanted to use it for live query federation with Linked Data Fragments (http://linkeddatafragments.org). I was thinking of building a proxy, but something native would be better of course.

I suggest to simply publish the dataset as a Triple Pattern Fragments API (all software is already available, see http://fragments.dbpedia.org/en ) or have a hydra (http://www.hydra-cg.com/spec/latest/core/ <http://www.hydra-cg.com/spec/latest/core/>) description of your new service to aid LDF clients.  If you’re interested, let me know.

In any case, an available RDF data dump would be very useful.

Best,

Miel
