As said before, I'd be happy to provide the data for hosting at Talis -
the dataset is relatively large though (tens of GB).  At the moment
I'm serving from static files and do not require a SPARQL endpoint,
which should lower the resource requirements.  Some configuration for
redirects etc. would be needed if hosted on a different server.

Cheers,
Andreas.
