  • Where Is My URI?
    Where is my URI? Andre Valdestilhas1, Tommaso Soru1, Markus Nentwig2, Edgard Marx3, Muhammad Saleem1, and Axel-Cyrille Ngonga Ngomo4 1 AKSW Group, University of Leipzig, Germany {valdestilhas,tsoru,saleem}@informatik.uni-leipzig.de 2 Database Group, University of Leipzig, Germany [email protected] 3 Leipzig University of Applied Sciences, Germany [email protected] 4 Data Science Group, Paderborn University, Germany [email protected] Abstract. One of the Semantic Web foundations is the possibility to dereference URIs to let applications negotiate their semantic content. However, this exploitation is often infeasible as the availability of such information depends on the reliability of networks, services, and human factors. Moreover, it has been shown that around 90% of the information published as Linked Open Data is available as data dumps and more than 60% of endpoints are offline. To this end, we propose a Web service called Where is my URI?. Our service aims at indexing URIs and their use in order to let Linked Data consumers find the respective RDF data source, in case such information cannot be retrieved from the URI alone. We rank the corresponding datasets by following the rationale upon which a dataset contributes to the definition of a URI proportionally to the number of literals. We finally describe potential use-cases of applications that can immediately benefit from our simple yet useful service. Keywords: Link Discovery; Linked Data; Endpoints; URI; Dereferencing 1 Introduction In the Web of Data, applications such as Link Discovery or Data Integration frameworks need to know where a specific URI is located.
