Ah, we're an excitable bunch around here ;)
Regardless of whether these data URLs are available, the UI work is
exciting and I'm glad you shared it with the W3C lists. If others have
smart ideas for visualising and navigating RDFesque datasets (whether
closed or open by various definitions), let me be clear: they're very
welcome to post them to semantic-web@w3.org. I hope our enthusiasm
hereabouts for open data doesn't discourage people for sharing
innovative UI ideas. We need all the help we can get! :)
In similar vein, it's well worth SW people poking around
http://code.google.com/apis/visualization/
http://processing.org/ and similar, ... the fact that these don't
(yet....) natively support RDF is no reason not to learn from them...
cheers,
Dan
