WALS dump is now available at galoes.org/wals-vm41-20120806.sql.zip
This version might not match 100% with the current online-version

Mofeed and Sherif can one of you have a look at the dump, if it is ok?

of course, I mean "dump" and "link data interface" and "CKAN" entry and 
"interlinking", I guess, it would be good to have a look at all of this. See 
also issue http://code.google.com/p/mlode/issues/detail?id=46

The file at galoes.org/wals-vm41-20120806.sql.zip is a database SQL file, is 
this what it is supposed to be?
I think that it is supposed to be rdf file, is this right?

This is an SQL dump, which should have been provided already in June for the 
MPI-AKSW collaboration. This is obviously late, but better late than never

What is the status of this? Should we convert it or has Martin already started 
with a conversion?

I've already started and will add a CKAN Dump etc when I'm done. Sorry for the 
lack of clarity.

Conversion is done and dump can be found here:

triples: 417952

Please have a look at it and verify. CKAN needs an example resource.
