Abstract
Exploration of linked data aims at providing tools and techniques that enable to effectively explore a dataset through concepts, relationships, and properties by means of SPARQL endpoints and visual interfaces. In this paper, we present a set of clouding services for linked data exploration, to enable the end-user to personalize and focus her/his exploration by interactively configuring high-level conceptual structures called inClouds.
