Then you could just redirect him straight to the n3 dump of graphs of

which pages said what)
Redirect may be a bit harsh. So you could at first link him to the dump
Only trouble with the above, is that many don't produce graph dumps
anymore, they just have SPARQL endpoints, then you pound the endpoints
and hit timeouts etc..
A looong time ago, very early LOD days, we (LOD community) talked about
the importance of dumps with the heuristic you describe in mind (no
WebID then, but it was clear something would emerge). Unfortunately,
SPARQL endpoints have become the first point of call re. Linked Data
even though SPARQL endpoint only == asking for trouble if you can self
protect the endpoint and re-route agents to dumps.
Maybe we can use WebID and recent troubles as basis for reestablishing
this most vital of best practices re. Linked Data publication. Of
course, this is also awesome dog-fooding too!
