(Cross posted at /. so sorry if it is picked up there too.)
I don't know if MIT's
Open Government Awareness project died of natural causes or was killed. All links on the
MIT server seem to be dead. I can't find any obituary or notice of its passing.
I was doing some research on real life trials of the Semantic Web when I came across references to the OGA project. Its a shame if it is gone because the concept as described in the
Wayback Machine screenshots seems like it was heading in an interesting direction. (Plus riffing the name off
DARPA's Total Information Awareness effort is funny to boot.)
