Kavitha,

If you apply the proper URIs, and then apply fixes to the mappings (from 
prior suggestions) we are set.  You can send me another dump and I will 
go one step further and put some sample SPARQL queries together which 
demonstrate how we can have many world views on the Web of Linked Data 
without anyone getting hurt in the process :-)
