A while back, Olaf Hartig and I came up with the following definition of a Linked Data application:http://www.slideshare.net/juansequeda/consuming-linked-data Slide 3 and 4Linked Data Applications: Software system that makes use of data on the web from multiple datasets and that benefits from links between the datasetsCharacteristics of Linked Data Applications- Consume data that is published on the web following the Linked Data principles: an application should be able to request, retrieve and process the accessed data - Discover further information by following the links between different data sources: the fourth principle enables this. - Combine the consumed linked data with data from sources (not necessarily Linked Data) - Expose the combined data back to the web following the Linked Data principles- Offer value to end-users
Based on that definition, you have the following application snapshot, most of which I posted yesterday as part of this discussion/debate:
Some of our applications:1. http://ode.openlinksw.com -- OpenLink Data Explorer (purpose: to enable you consume, produce, share, and generally exploit Linked Data from a myriad of sources) via any browser
2. http://linkeddata.uriburner.com -- a public service that produces 5-Star Linked Data from a plethora of data sources (i.e., RDF and non RDF)
3. http://virtuoso.openlinksw.com -- Virtuoso Middleware that facilitates the above and is exposed as a collection or URL patterns (you can instantiate your via the Amazon cloud or install your own compy locally) it also has this all baked into its SPARQL query processor
4. http://web.ods.openlinksw.com -- Personal Data Space solution (you can also instantiate your own via Amazon Cloud or install locally) which enables you build your own data data space endowed with sophisticated data access policies etc.
5. http://id.myopenlink.net/certgen -- an x.509 certificate generator that includes WebID watermarking re. Web-scale verifiable identifiers based on the WebID+TLS or WebID authentication protocol (critical for fine-grained data access policies e.g., for controlling resource access via social relationship semantics comprehension) ; there's a mobile edition currently on its way to the Apple store too .
1-4 have been in existence for many years and are in use across our customer base.
Some DBpedia client applications/services, from others: 1. http://www.aboutthisday.com/ 2. http://www.visualdataweb.org/semlens.php 3. http://en.lodlive.it/ 4. http://dbpedia.oobian.com/ 5. http://semanticreports.com/ -- Graphity . NLP related: 1. https://github.com/dbpedia-spotlight/dbpedia-spotlight 2. http://spaziodati.eu/home/ 3. http://www.alchemyapi.com/ 4. http://extractiv.squarespace.com/5. Yahoo! Entity Extractor -- see Yahoo! APIs (they actually produce Linked Data URIs for extracted Entities via LOD cloud lookups) .
Folksonomy & Tagging related: 1. http://poolparty.biz/ Music related: 1. http://seevl.net/ . GWAP (Game with a purpose):1. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=it.cefriel.swa.urbanopoly.client.game&hl=en
There are many more, I just typed this out of my head, so forgive any obvious omissions.
Others: please use this opportunity to share links to information about your Linked Data consumers. Even better, publish Turtle documents describing your Linked Data apps.

Interesting and useful comment. You used the word - tell me what you mean please. Best Hugh As you know, definitions are subjective. If you can define what an Application (in the context of Linked Data consumption) is, I can then attempt to answer your question about specific applications in light of such clarity. <snip/>-- *Bernard Vatant* Vocabularies & Data Engineering Tel : + 33 (0)9 71 48 84 59 Skype : bernard.vatant Blog : the wheel and the hub <http://blog.hubjects.com/> -------------------------------------------------------- *Mondeca***** 3 cité Nollez 75018 Paris, France www.mondeca.com <http://www.mondeca.com/> Follow us on Twitter : @mondecanews <http://twitter.com/#%21/mondecanews>
