<p> Here are 5 powerful benefits you can immediately derive from the combination of <a href="http://virtuoso.openlinksw.com" id="link-id17eb8988">Virtuoso</a> and Amazon's AWS services (specifically the EC2 and EBS components): <br /> </p> <ol> <li> Acquire your own personal or service specific <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_Spaces" id="link-id1423e520">data space</a> in the Cloud. Think DBase, Paradox, FoxPRO, Access of yore, but with the power of <a href="http://dbpedia.org/resource/Oracle_Database" id="link-id136c6290">Oracle</a>, <a href="http://dbpedia.org/resource/IBM_Informix" id="link-id11b269b8">Informix</a>, <a href="http://dbpedia.org/resource/Microsoft_SQL_Server" id="link-id138084b8">Microsoft SQL Server</a> etc.. using a Conceptual, as opposed to solely Logical, model based DBMS (i.e., a Hybrid DBMS Engine for: <a href="http://dbpedia.org/resource/SQL" id="link-id132a7938">SQL</a>, RDF, XML, and Full Text) </li> <li> Ability to share and control access to your resources using innovations like <a href="http://dbpedia.org/resource/Friend_of_a_friend" id="link-id17ee9d28">FOAF</a>+SSL, OpenID, and OAuth, all from one place </li> <li> Construction of personal or organization based FOAF profiles in a matter of minutes; by simply creating a basic DBMS (or <a href="http://dbpedia.org/resource/OpenLink_Data_Spaces" id="link-id14784ae0">ODS</a> application layer) account; and then using this profile to create strong links (references) to all your Data silos (esp. those from the <a href="http://dbpedia.org/resource/World_Wide_Web">Web</a> 2.0 realm) </li> <li> Load data sets from the <a href="http://community.linkeddata.org/dataspace/organization/lod#this" id="link-id17e6ac98">LOD</a> cloud or Sponge existing Web resources (i.e., on the fly data transformation to RDF model based <a href="http://dbpedia.org/resource/Linked_Data" id="link-id17e65d38">Linked Data</a>) and then use the combination to build powerful lookup services that enrich the value of URLs (think: Web addressable reports holding query results) that you publish </li> <li> Bind all of the above to a domain that you own (e.g. a .Name domain) so that you have an attribution-friendly "authority" component for resource URLs and <a href="http://dbpedia.org/resource/Entity" id="link-id118a08d8">Entity</a> URIs published from your Personal Linked Data Space on the Web (or private HTTP network). </li> </ol> <p> In a nutshell, the AWS Cloud infrastructure simplifies the process of generating Federated presence on the <a href="http://dbpedia.org/resource/Internet" id="link-id1380af38">Internet</a> and/or <a href="http://dbpedia.org/resource/World_Wide_Web" id="link-id11633b10">World Wide Web</a>. Remember, centralized networking models always end up creating data silos, in some <a href="http://dbpedia.org/resource/Context_%28language_use%29" id="link-id142006f0">context</a>, ultimately! :-) </p>
