This is the archive of the goodrelations dicussion list

Hi Nicolas,

we are building one ;-) In the meantime, you can use

http://lod.openlinksw.com/
or
http://sindice.com/

http://sindice.com/search?q=*++%3Chttp%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F1999%2F02%2F22-rdf-syntax-ns%23type%3E+%3Chttp%3A%2F%2Fpurl.org%2Fgoodrelations%2Fv1%23BusinessEntity%3E&qt=advanced

But I must war you - you are just a few weeks to early. We are 
fine-tuning large datasets right now, which will include > 1 Mio 
instances. This will take, however, a couple of weeks from now.

So don't be disappointed if as of today, sindice shows just some twenty 
businesses. Also, their crawling is incomplete.

Best
Martin


PS: And yes, please create a description for your own business using the 
annotator tool - five minutes to mark your claims in the Web of Data ;-)
