Presumably sindice.com or Yahoo's Search Monkey should be able to aid
in some this, shouldn't it? Sort of like the link:http://id.loc.gov/
query of traditional search engines, it would seem to make sense that
such a search should exist in these services.
Of course this means that the RDF would have be indexed by them.
Sindice has a query syntax to see if something uses a particular URI
as an object, but I can't figure out if or how it accepts wildcards.
I have no idea if Yahoo can do anything like that.
