For data in Bristol we use:

aiiso <http://purl.org/vocab/aiiso/schema#> to label organsational structure.
foaf   <http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/> for people and groups.
project funding   <http://vocab.ouls.ox.ac.uk/projectfunding#> for projects and grants (we have MRC, EPSRC, NERC, BBSRC and other funding council data in this form).

They seem to do the job nicely.
