No it isn't. It is just one of (hopefully) many other services that provide you with a "data junction box" en route to discovering data all over the Web. The URIs exposed by <http://lod.openlinksw.com> resolve to entity description documents located from wherever they were published.
Linked Data enables us to build a distributed DataDNS system.
You were talking about serendipitous discovery without central repositories.
Yes I am. I've been talking about it for a long time [1].
How should I guess that you meant search engines and aggregators - which are central repositories ?
They are all simply puzzle-pieces in a massive game of jigsaw puzzles.
So how do I get the list Dominic tries to compile from lod.openlinksw.com or some other search engine ? Feel free to create a SPARQL query for anyone to reuse in the future.
I need to look at what he seeks. That said, even if I constructed a SPARQL protocol URL, the net effect is that if I share said URL anyone has a starting point from this to drill-down further.
Later this week (or next, latest) we will share a number of detailed case studies (live examples) showcasing how Linked Data is used to solve a various problems that aid discovery on conventional search engines while also laying foundation for the next tier of semantically enhanced search engines. We will cover the following areas:
1. product catalogs 2. product offers 3. integration with Google snippets 4. shopping systems (shops and shopcarts) 5. product features and benefits.Everything will be based on 5-Star Linked Data. All URIs will resolve to descriptions of their Referents.
If we dog-food Linked Data we will actually get around many of the tiresome issues that have repeatedly tripped up many adopters over the years.
Sorry for PGP-signing my last couple of mails. I guess this is not good practice on mailing lists.
I sign my emails using an X.509 certificate that includes a person URI in its SAN slot :-)
