I was wondering whether anyone had any ideas (however "pet") on
applications/domains which might lend themselves to compelling
showcases, but that dealt primarily with "pure" data. By that I mean
not focussed around metadata associated with human-readable content,
but rather on Things.

I've heard of quite a few around HCLS, but these aren't really
comprehensible for the non-specialist. Out in the Web 2.0 environment
I can only think of social networks (i.e. some FOAF, probably not
SIOC*), but that space seems generally overloaded with non-semweb
applications, it would be hard to make something novel enough.

Databases are used in the Enterprise for everything under the sun -
surely there must be a few applications that would make compelling
showcases exposed on the web..?

Cheers,
Danny.

* re. not SIOC - while I think that work has immense potential, it
still has doc content as a big part in the form of posts
