Thanks to all who responded to my request for #SPARQL endpoints with interesting relational data (people, orgs, places). I& #39;ve spent at least a day looking at those and a number from one of the "endpoints lists" and am very discouraged. #LinkedData #RDF 1/n

Most endpoints are dead/years out of date and it takes a lot of effort to evaluate each one to discover status, content, and do a little evaluation on any data it has.
#SPARQL #LinkedData #RDF 2/n

I found some useful datasets but mostly narrow scope and specialist.

This will do for my demo and learning, but is discouraging wrt the state and future of public web #SPARQL #LinkedData #RDF

Impression is 15 years ago lots was begun, but has mostly atrophied for a decade. 3/3
