The Web of Data Grows and Grows…

Posted by Knud on September 21st, 2010

Back in September 2009, Bob DuCharme highlighted the growth of the Web of Linked Data by comparing versions of Richard Cyganiak’s LOD cloud diagramme. Now I’m sitting in Chris Bizer’s keynote at FIS2010 and just got to see the latest version of this diagramme. The amount of growth looks amazing; just by looking at it you get the impression that things are really happening now. 24.7 billion triples, 436 million links. Also, what I like about the diagramme is how it uses colour to show the different domains the various datasets belong to.

LOD Cloud, September 2010

The new version of the LOD cloud will be published later today or tomorrow, but you get a sneak peak here first! ;)
