To get the latest Virtuoso instance and associated updates for ODS at any given time you can do:

1. ssh or slogin to EC2 instance
2. type: yum update

This will stop, upgrade, and then restart the Virtuoso Server.

Backup and Restore is also available (in automated fashion).

Endpoint for your EC2 ODS instance is:
http://your-ec2-cname/ods
or
http://your-ec2-cname/ods/index.html (new UI)

ODS Generated Personal URI: http://your-ec2-cname/dataspace/person/your-ods-id#this

FOAF File: http://your-ec2-cname/dataspace/person/your-ods-id

SIOC File:
http://your-ec2-cname/dataspace/your-ods-id

The EC2 we’ve release is a combination of Virtuoso (DB Server for SQL, XML, RDF) and OpenLink Data Spaces (a Linked Data Junction Box in the clouds). We currently refer to the instance as the Virtuoso Data Space server etc..

Some quick usage tips (I’ll write something about this is a post later):

1. /ods is the endpoint for the ODS UI, just register and you have an account etc..
2. Instantiate the Feeds App. instance and then simply import something like “planetrdf.com” and a few other feed sources

The above is a simple demonstration of an effective path to a Personal Linked Data Web URI of the form:
http:///dataspace/person/#this

The FOAF File URI (*this also doubles as your OpenID URI): http:///dataspace/person/

Your Entire Data Space is accessible via this SIOC file URI:
http:///dataspace/

As you import/link data from existing Web 1.0 and 2.0 data sources the graph exposed by your personal URI simply increases in linked data density.
