            Hello!

            I know this issue has been raised during the LOD BOF at
            WWW 2009, but
            I don't know if any possible solutions emerged from there.

            The problem we are facing is that data on BBC Programmes
            changes
            approximately 50 000 times a day (new/updated
            broadcasts/versions/programmes/segments etc.). As we'd
            like to keep a
            set of RDF crawlers up-to-date with our information we
            were wondering
            how best to ping these. pingthesemanticweb seems like a
            nice option,
            but it needs the crawlers to ping it often enough to make
            sure they
            didn't miss a change. Another solution we were thinking of
            would be to
            stick either Talis changesets [1] or SPARQL/Update
            statements in a
            message queue, which would then be consumed by the crawlers.

        That's a lot of data, I wonder if there is a smart way of
        filtering it down.

        Perhaps an RDF version of "twitter" would be interesting,
        where you
        "follow" changes that you're interested in?  You could even
        follow by
        possibly user, or by SPARQL query, and maybe accross multiple
        domains.
    How about: http://dev.live.com/feedsync/intro.aspx

    Nothing stops RDF info. resources being shuttled about using
    RSS/Atom :-)

Alternatively, why not take an approach similar to the Wikipedia live feeds, and push them out on public chat channels; perhaps SPARQL/Update messages on a read-only Jabber/IRC etc stream? Interested parties are free to consume them, and use the queries to keep their local copy up-to-date with each set of changes. Possibly preferable to reinventing the wheel with some kind of stream server :)
Peter,

Cool idea :-)

            Did anyone tried to tackle this problem already?

            Cheers!
