1. I tried to open the example URIs in the Tabulator data browser,
but for some reason Tabulator doesn't kick in, I just see Firefox's
usual RDF source view. The “Get Info” window in Firefox says that
the RDF is served as text/xml, which would explain the effect. But
if I try to confirm this with curl it seems like the results are
actually correctly served as application/rdf+xml. Any idea what's
going on?
It's possible that if text/xml is specified in the Accept: request
header (perhaps in addition to application/rdf+xml), that text/xml
may be the content type set in the response. I'll have to take a
closer look.
That's what I thought too, but couldn't make the server reply with
text/xml with the header that Tabulator uses (a little helper for
learning what header a particular RDF browser can be found at [1]).
I tried to get such a list using "SELECT DISTINCT ?p WHERE { ?s ?p ?
o }" but this seems to exceed the endpoint's execution time limit.
Yeah. That's a difficult one to execute rapidly... Also note that
it's the same end point that serves the Census data set and
everything else I have, so that's potentially scanning a billion
statements.
Yes, I appreciate the difficulty of making this kind of very general
query run fast on the amount of data you serve. Having some vocabulary
documentation around (such as an RDFS document) lessens the need for
such queries. Without either one (documentation or ability to run the
queries) it's fairly hard to get a feel for the data.
5. I see you have a Semantic Sitemap at rdfabout.com -- can you add
this dataset to it? (This helps us index the dataset into Sindice.)
Ooops, yes.
I notice that there are still a bunch of example.org URIs in the
dataset, would be great if you could fix/remove them.
Best,
Richard

(cross-posted to LOD and get-theinfo...)
In response to a thread on Aaron Swartz's get-theinfo list, I
resurrected my RDF data for U.S. corporate ownership derived from
publicly filed records to the U.S. Securities and Exchange
commission's
EDGAR database.
It's 1 million triples, HTTP and SPARQL-accessible. More here
(including source code, data dump, and examples):
http://rdfabout.com/demo/sec/
The records establish board membership, officer positions, and 10%-
or-more ownership relations. Note that people can enter into any
of those relations with corporations, but additionally
corporations can be 10% owners of other corporations. The records
exist at time points when the interest (i.e. stock ownership) of
an individual or corporation that is in one of the relations above
with a corporation changes. It is thus possible (and likely) that
individuals who are no longer in such a relation with a
corporation are still listed as such in this data.
Here are some starting points:
News Corp (owner of FOX, WSJ, and other media things):
http://www.rdfabout.com/rdf/usgov/sec/id/cik0001308161
Rupert Murdoch (media mogul behind News Corp):
http://www.rdfabout.com/rdf/usgov/sec/id/cik0001024835
There are no links to other data sets.
