Hi Michael, An immense breakthrough, thanks! Tomorrow I will definitely show it to our MarCom team, I bet they'll finally fall in love with linked data. The risk is that they start building URIs patterns that matching the company's style guide... but I guess the inconsistency of our URIs is an acceptable sacrifice. Shall we call the web of colors Web 4.0? Thanks!
