 While we work to resolve the issue, our management asks us to clarify that
 the team departure from Sindice.com, does not necessarily mean the end
 the project.

 Dear all,

 the Sindice team announces today the end of the support of the
 Sindice.com service. Effective late March we have put the service in “read
 only” mode. Maintenance on our side will continue until August 30th.

 With the launch in 2012 of Schema.org, Google and others have effectively
 embraced the vision of the “Semantic Web”. With the RDFa standard, but now
 even more with JSON-LD, richer and richer markup is becoming more and more
 popular on websites. While there might not be public web data “search
 apis”, large collections of crawled data (pages http://commoncrawl.org/
  and RDF http://webdatacommons.org/) exist today which are made
 available on cloud computing platforms for easy analysis with your favorite
 big data paradigm.

 Even more interestingly, the technology of Sindice.com has been made
 available in several projects maintained either as open source (see the
 blog post) or commercially supported by the team, now transitioned to the
 Sindice LTD company, AKA SindiceTech http://sindicetech.com/.

 For example, the Sindice.com main search engine, Siren, for is now
 available at http://sirendb.com .

 We recommend the community looks at it for what we believe to be
 unparalleled search capabilities on rich semistructured data (e.g. Json/XML
 and or text enhanced with entity descriptions or relational data).

 It has been quite a journey for us, and given there is no single summary
 anywhere we thought we’d take this occasion to write and share it. For
 “historical” reasons and as a way to glimpse at future directions of this
 field and technologies.
