Virtuoso+DBpedia AMI for EC2 now Live!

What is Virtuoso+DBpedia AMI for EC2?

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:

1. Instant bootstrap of a dense Lookup Hub for Linked Data Web oriented solutions
2. No exposure to any of the complexities and nuances associated with deployment of dereferencable URIs (you have a DBpedia replica)
3. Predictable performance and scalability due localization of query processing (you aren't sharing the public DBpedia server with the rest of the world).

Features:

1. DBpedia public instance functionality replica (re. RDF and (X)HTML resource description representations & SPARQL endpoint)
2. Local URI de-referencing (so no contention with public endpoint) as part of the Linked Data Deployment
3. Fully tuned Virtuoso instance for DBpedia data set hosting.

How Do I Get Started?

Simply read the Virtuoso-DBpedia EC2 AMI installation guide.

Here are a few live examples of DBpedia resource URIs deployed and de-referencable via one of my EC2 based personal data spaces:

• Linked Data
• Entity-Attribute-Value (aka. Triples) Model
• Hyperdata Linking (aka. Object Hyperlinking)
• Barack Obama
