RE: W3C Linked Data Community Directory

Actually, it imports into Excel nicely.

Hi all,

The contents of the Community Directory are already available in RDF.  There
is a "Download the bulk RDF" link on the front page that leads to:
  http://dir.w3.org/directory.rdf

That RDF is dynamically queried when the URL is resolved and is always up to
date.

Apologies if others have already pointed this out.  Gannon's message was
caught in my spam trap.

Regards,
Dave
