new Linked Data from UK Ordnance Survey

It seems http://data.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/ just got some updates...

Blogged by John Goodwin here,

"Ordnance Survey have now released an update to their linked data,
which can be seen here. The new data now includes postcode information
as well as a few changes to the administrative geography data. In this
post I’ll go through what’s in the data, and give a few sample SPARQL
queries."

(SPARQL is an SQL-ish query language for querying databases composed
of RDF statements)

"In a previous post I wrote up some of the features of the new
Ordnance Survey Linked Data. In this blog post I want to run through a
concrete example of the sort of thing you can build using this linked
data"


The folk at Talis also have a writeup,
