We’ve got quite a lot of different stores in the Talis Platfom, some of which have some pretty interesting data. The question is, what’s in them? A while ago, I polled all the stores in the platform (you can get a list as HTML or RDF at http://api.talis.com/stores) for some basic stats on the rdf:types and predicates in each store, and saved them in the silkworm-dev store.

It just occurred to me that, using (for example), ARC’s standalone SPARQL parser, I ought to be able to parse a query, and generate another query for the silkworm-dev store, to find a list of stores that you could run that query on and get some data back.

I guess this will get even more interesting when we add Store Groups into the mix (a coming-feature, where you can query a group of stores at once).

I’ll have to try it sometime soon
