> The report is focussed on libraries which is an important use case for linked data. I'd need to check but I believe the British Library has done rather more in the field of linked data than the report suggests but that's by the by. And Europeana might be worth a look too in this regard ;-)

In Sweden our National library catalog (Libris) is publishing the entire catalog and authorities as linked open data (and has been using linked data since 2008) including a syndication mechanism over Atom. What I particularly like is that they have done a lot of work to connect authority items to DbPedia items (e.g. authors) which enables a whole new set of use cases. In line with 5-star linked open data I guess.
