Re: making the LDF spec accessible for a broader audience

Hi
I think it's good!.

I don't want to go OT, but I suggest that the next step should be
constructing a visualizer for Linked Data Fragments: this can help engaging
a wider audience, and can be started from the current javascript client
implementation, using a "follow your nose" pattern.
It could be great if there were examples a user can play with (also
graphically), since they are helpful for understanding what's behind at an
intuitive level. Usually this works on SPARQL presentation, I suppose here
it has even much more sense, due to the approache used for retreiving
resources. What do you think about? (hope I didn't go too off-topic, sorry)
