Hi LODsters,
We are pleased to provide a LOD 'constellation' diagram [1] of
class-level mappings within open linked datasets. It is meant to
accompany the LOD cloud diagram [2] that our community has been
using for more than a year to great effect to educate the public
about linked data.
Fred Giasson did all of the initial analysis behind the creation
of this LOD 'constellation' diagram. The input files behind this
diagram are also available for download [1].
I have also provided a bit more background information and
description of the importance of class-level mappings in a
related blog post [3].
As that post tries to stress, we now have all of the essential
infrastructure pieces for effectively promoting the linked data
vision.
Pretty cool! and thanks to all of you for publishing the datasets
and bringing linked data to this current inflection point.
Regards, Mike
