Paul,
How does this actually benefit or contribute to the Linked Data Cloud? I
ask specifically because URIs (of the dereferencable variety) are
missing in action. Hopefully, I am completely overlooking something here :-)
We tend to use the term "Proxy" or "Wrapper" to describe solutions in
the Linked Data realm that generate dereferencable URIs based RDF
graphs (aka. Linked Data Spaces) "on the fly" via RDF-ization middleware.
If possible, please encourage the OpenCalais folks (Tom et al.) to
respond to my comments above via a response to this post.
Example Proxy / Wrapper URIs in the wild:
1.
http://demo.openlinksw.com/proxy/html/http://www.freebase.com/view/en/abraham_lincoln
- Document about Abraham Lincoln
2.
http://demo.openlinksw.com/about/html/http://demo.openlinksw.com/about/rdf/http://www.freebase.com/view/en/abraham_lincoln%23this
- Abraham Lincoln the Entity of type foaf:Person that is also a sioc:Item
3.
http://demo.openlinksw.com/about/html/http://demo.openlinksw.com/about/rdf/http://www.crunchbase.com/company/thomson-reuters%23this
- Thompson Reuters the Entity of type foaf:Organization that is also a
sioc:Item
