Comments on: How many OWL ontologies are there on the Web? http://www.mindswap.org/blog/2006/09/08/how-many-owl-ontologies-are-there-on-the-web/ Weblog for the Mindswap research group at University of Maryland Tue, 2 Dec 2008 22:43:25 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.0.10 by: Kasper van den Berg http://www.mindswap.org/blog/2006/09/08/how-many-owl-ontologies-are-there-on-the-web/#comment-2654 Mon, 11 Sep 2006 11:55:36 +0000 http://www.mindswap.org/blog/2006/09/08/how-many-owl-ontologies-are-there-on-the-web/#comment-2654 If you have enough computational power and bandwitdh, the following might be an option: - Get a selection of documents that possibly are ontologies. Possibly by following <a href="http://www.ksl.stanford.edu/people/ding/" rel="nofollow">Li Ding</a>'s <a href="http://ebiquity.umbc.edu/blogger/how-many-semantic-web-documents-are-on-the-web/" rel="nofollow">approach</a>. - Run an OWL validator these documents. - The problem (as discussed on semantic-web@w3.org) of classifying the document as an ontology, only making use of an ontology to define instances, or a combination of both, remains. (I estimate classifying all documents will consume some days upto a month.) If you have enough computational power and bandwitdh, the following might be an option:

I like the "-asasasasasa" Google trick -- it was new to me. We've thought about this and I started a page on the topic some weeks ago, and your post spured me on to finish it off. See "How many Semantic Web documents are on the Web?" [1]. Last month, we took up a related topic, counting "Ontologies on the Semantic Web" [2].
