[open-linguistics] Ideas how to solve hosting

[Sebastian Hellmann]

Hi all,
we are currently trying to tackle the hosting problem and find 
appropriate tools/servers. The nice thing about having MLODE[1] is that 
we finally have a chance to dig deeper, as soon as a problem arises.

So we discussed the "hosting" problem at the MLODE preparation telco and 
came up with some ideas how to deal with it.   By the way, we will have 
two more telcos before MLODE and everybody is welcome to join (next one 
is Thursday, 13. September, 3pm Berlin time, skype:sebastian.hellmann). 
Half of the time we discuss topics such as the programme, the other half 
we think about technicalities and coordinate the conversion process.

Should we have another OWLG telco before the workshop, as well?. It 
would be good to get some feedback on use cases.

Here is the main idea, we have written down in this Etherpad: 
http://mlode.okfnpad.org/hosting

*Incentives for 3rd party hosters*
Each bubble in the LOD cloud at 
http://richard.cyganiak.de/2007/10/lod/represents a data set that is 
published as linked data. However, it is not visible, who provides the 
hosting for this data set. In over 60% hosting is provided by 
third-parties http://www4.wiwiss.fu-berlin.de/lodcloud/state/#producer. 
In order to increase the visibility of who provides the hosting (e.g. 
LinkedGeoData is hosted by University Leipzig, DBpedia is hosted by 
OpenLink ) we will create a copy of the LOD cloud for the area of 
Linguistics, where we add logos of the hosters to the bubbles. This 
image will be updated in regular intervals by a commitee. A draft of 
such an image can be found here: 
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/65483422/llod-hoster.png. If a hoster stops to 
host the data set, the logo will be removed.

All the best,
Sebastian
