Hi Pierre-Yves,

Is this something that could, or should, be hosted as part of the datahub?  I wonder if it is something that could be implemented as a CKAN extension (not least because it might be useful on another CKAN instance I maintain). I'll be sending out another email later asking for volunteers to help me give datahub.io a bit of a clean-up and upgrade and so it'd be helpful to know what others want, or expect from it.

Ross.

This project have monitored hourly since February 2011 the availability of all public SPARQL Endpoints listed in CKAN Datahub and run more than 7.000.000 tests. All results generated by this project are published in archives and in RDF format through a SPARQL Endpoint. It is used for instance by the community in a validator to assess the quality of a dataset [3]. In a collaboration with other institutes (Digital Enterprise Research Institute and Pontificia Universidad Catolica de Chile), we are developing a new version of this monitoring tool to give users more insights about SPARQL endpoints in terms of Discoverability, Interoperability, Efficiency and Reliability.
