What about sparql.org? That is a reference public Fuseki endpoint hosted by Apache on behalf of the projects, sure it is a toy dataset but it is a public endpoint
The projects team role is to organise the development of the software which we make it available freely to the public under the Apache foundations non-profit corporate charter. Our role is not to sell the software or to evangelise any particular vision of how the software should be used. This is very different to someone like OpenLink Software who are a commercial company and who have an interest in convincing end users to use their software in order to generate income and pay their and pay their bills. In practical terms hosting a public endpoint is an expensive business. To take DBPedia as an example it is billions of triples and so needs appropriate hardware. Let’s assume you wanted to host this in Amazon EC2 and wanted to use a r3.8xlarge instance (32 cores, 244 GiB RAM, 2x320GB SSD, 10 GigE network) as an example. The hourly rate for this is $2.66 per hour which works out as approximately $23,000 per year, even if we were to use a reserve instance and pay up front that would still cost approximately $12,000 per year. This is before we even take into account bandwidth, Storage and ongoing support costs. As has already been pointed out everybody here is volunteers, we do not have any large corporate sponsors like other high profile Apache projects, so where do you expect that money to come from?

Dbpedia-dataset is a relative small one, with a bit good-will cooperation i see there no prblems, otherwise you can forget the idea of Semantic Web, but you did it already, i think... > >>> I'm sorry, I am a bit confused; are you able to volunteer some time or >>> resources to this purpose?

Why not, ofcourse we can end it, if you see no other way, you say, make it yourself. But the USERS spended so many time in this environment and they have a right to say, what they think the right way is and i am sure to run an official Fuseki-'Reference' public endpoint is a very harmless and for everyone comprehensible suggestion... baran -- Using Opera's mail client: http://www.opera.com/mail/
