Ok, let's try to do this for at least one simple example. 

While courses are relevant, we don't yet have LRMI stretched to cover those.

How about a textbook; Gilbert Strang's 'Linear Algebra and its Applications'.

Eg see http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/0155510053

What can GR tell us about this as a product / creativework? What can LRMI tell us?

I am sure there are richer scenarios to explore but let's get a 'textbook example' working for schema 1.0.

Martin/Greg - can you each work on half of this example?
