Hello all,

you have already encountered problems of SPARQL endpoint accessibility ?
you feel frustrated they are never available when you need them?
you develop an application using these services but wonder if it is
reliable?

Here is a tool  <http://labs.mondeca.com/sparqlEndpointsStatus/index.html>[1]
that allows you to know public SPARQL endpoints availability
and monitor them in the last hours/days.
Stay informed of a particular (or all) endpoint status changes through RSS
feeds.
All availability information generated by this tool is accessible
through a SPARQL
endpoint.

This tool fetches public SPARQL endpoints from CKAN  <http://ckan.net/> open
data. From this list, it runs tests every hour for availability.
