Has there ever been a more despicable and wrong-headed decision by a sporting authority than CAF's move to punish Togo for being the victims of terrorism? It is comparable to the idea that the IOC might have banned Israel and Egypt from the 1976 and 1980 Olympics for withdrawing their teams after the terrorist atrocity at Munich in 1972.

In early 2009 I had the idea for a linked data integration platform, capable of importing and mapping all of the publicly available data sets in the Linked Data cloud into a single repository, represented in a coherent ontology, reconciled and accessible through central APIs. What started out as an idea a year ago now became reality. Today, we have released uberblic.org, a service for integrating the web of data."
