[open-bibliography] Fwd: [LODLAM] Get Yourself a Linked Data Piece of WorldCat to Play With

Fri Aug 17 23:14:39 UTC 2012

I'm not having any trouble loading it (except that it is slow). I'm fussing
with the best way to configure 4store to handle ~80 million triples.

The data looks good to me.

I'm also putting up a pubby-like front end.

I'm not sure what the real cost of running a SPARQL endpoint for a dataset
like this is going to look like, or whether I can support it in the long
run. Still, I'm interested in hearing what people would want to see and how
they would use it if I (or Oregon State) were to run services on it.
