Thanks, Thomas.

Giovanni, it was a coreference resolution problem from my side. You meant 'they'=datasets and I read 'they'=people. It was anyhow a possible question to come by and it's (hopefully) clearer now. Sorry for the confusion.

Now to the intended question.
I will discuss the issue of availability with my colleagues. But my personal opinion is that availability is an important quality indicator, and should be incorporated if feasible wrt to time and resource availability. Could we perhaps have others (e.g. Sindice, Openlink cloud cache, etc.) also providing their assessment of this specific indicator? It sounds like it's of shared interest and could benefit from multiple independent assessments.

What do you think?

Cheers,
Pablo

Datasets that are inaccessible for large amounts of time (e.g., 3+ months) ultimately undermine the LOD cloud. Rather than removing a dataset, why not color code LOD cloud bubbles using the same color scheme from: http://labs.mondeca.com/sparqlEndpointsStatus/index.html, if possible?

For better or for worse, the LOD cloud pictorial is now a staple re. Linked Data marketing comms. collateral.
