The same is true for the WWW2008 dataset. I think Chris and Daniel have said it all, but I'm going to stick in my two penn'orth. The main task of the organisers of the conference is to organise the conference. Bluntly speaking, although I personally think the publication of SW data is important (and spent a great deal of my own time on it for ESWC07), it's a side issue, and there are other, timely things that we need(ed) to spend our time on. There was a small team doing the local organisation and they were working pretty damn hard last week to handle a number of issues -- please note I'm not talking about myself here, but the people managing the day to day running of the event, who also happened to be responsible for the website. So yes it may be "just about adding a line to some HTML", but occasionally there just isn't enough resource to even get simple things done immediately. There are only 24 hours in the day, and it's good to sleep for some of them :-). The data set has been produced -- Chris and his team did a great job this year -- and ultimately, we /will/ have things linked up.
