A pre-installed and fully tuned edition of Virtuoso that
includes a fully configured DBpedia instance on Amazon's EC2 Cloud
platform.
Benefits?
Generally, it provides a no hassles mechanism for instantiating
personal, organization, or service specific instances of DBpedia
within approximately 1.5 hours as opposed to a lengthy rebuild from
RDF source data that
takes between 8 - 22 hours depending on machine hardware
configuration and host operating system resources.
From a Web Entrepreneur
perspective it offers all of the generic benefits of a Virtuoso EC2 AMI plus the following:
- Instant bootstrap of a dense Lookup Hub for Linked Data Web oriented solutions
- No exposure to any of the complexities and nuances associated
with deployment of dereferencable URIs (you have a DBpedia
replica)
- Predictable performance and scalability due localization of
query processing (you aren't sharing the public DBpedia server with
the rest of the world).
Features:
- DBpedia public instance functionality replica (re. RDF and
(X)HTML resource description representations & SPARQL endpoint)
- Local URI de-referencing (so no contention with
public endpoint) as part of the Linked Data Deployment
- Fully tuned Virtuoso instance for DBpedia data set
hosting.
