Question: The Q/A site answers.semanticweb.com had existed forever, it had a huge amount of great questions and answers. Miscontent with the managing company was a factor in the creation of Open Data.

The site seems to be dead now, but all of its content is reusable, [if we find a dump](https://opendata.stackexchange.com/questions/9659/questions-and-answers-from-answers-semanticweb-com).

Should we do something about it?

* Send them flowers?
* Import the questions/answers (if technically possible)?
* Write an eulogy describing how it helped us learn SPARQL tricks?
* Write an autopsy report describing how sites that do not provide easy-to-use dumps are vowed to being challenged and die? (reminiscent of Wikitravel/Wikivoyage)?
* Something else?

Answer: 
Dumping the site seems a good idea. Since I have used the site a lot of times, I miss many good answers from there. If there is any chance of importing them to some stackexchange-community, it would be brilliant.

I just wrote a script, that pulls the most important data out of the dumped pages from the waybackmachine. A 20MB json dump is the result. For sure there could be some improvements necessary. But maybe it is a good starting point...

This dump was recently deployed at <https://answers.knowledgegraph.tech/>. Unfortunately, only questions having a score higher than 5 were imported.
