Hi Paul, you always send interesting postings about this stuff, Linked Data or whathever it is named now...
But i have had nothing to do with AWS Marketplaces until now, therefore my stupid question, sorry: When i subscribe your 'The Ontology2 Edition of DBpedia 2016-04' a.) can i give to the world then directly a SPARQL-endpoint-link (with 'full throttle experience') for your dbpedia-dataset, so that everybody can check its performance like we do it since a while ('throttled performance') for example with common endpoint: https://dbpedia.org/sparql or b.) can only i or my app (logged in) query the dataset? i have some apps to check such things, but i have to decide quickly with a model case, is it worth to invest time? i hope for a simple, introducing respond for interested with 'no AWS-experience' but very interested to check the performance easily reproducible for all... Thanks, baran. -------------------------------- On Mon, 31 Oct 2016 18:25:21 +0100, Paul Houle <paul.ho...@ontology2.com> wrote: > We are proud to announce the Ontology2 Edition of DBpedia on the AWS > Marketplace, available at > > https://aws.amazon.com/marketplace/pp/B01HMUNH4Q/ > > this product is a combination of Ubuntu Linux, OpenLink Virtuoso Open > Source Edition and data from DBpedia 2016-04 with carefully chosen > hardware, constructed with an advanced automated packaging system and > tuned for reliability, high performance, and the ability to execute > difficult queries. > > Not everyone has the powerful hardware required to do SPARQL queries > against DBpedia.
