Hi Ted,
But please ... this time, will there be any effort to make visible the clustering within the LOD Cloud? This seems to me one of the best ways to encourage data set publishers to link out -- and that *is* important to grow the utility of the *overall* data set.To date, the only graphic I've seen which shows just how little overall interconnectedness there is (was) in the LOD Cloud is my own ... which someone has long since removed from display on the EWC wiki page with the Cloud-like graphic, and which is certainly well outdated, but which is still found here -- http://virtuoso.openlinksw.com/images/dbpedia-lod-cloud.html
As for the clustering, you can also have a look at the picture we plotted with a network analysis tool: http://blog.larkc.eu/?p=1941 Our network file that we created out of the data on the ESW wiki will also be outdated as soon as the new picture is completed. I'll make a new version of it with the data on: http://www4.wiwiss.fu-berlin.de/lodcloud/ With such a file, everyone will be able to plot its own cloud picture and highlight the different structures he wants to see in it.
