Exactly. We've still got a few more million records to import, so we were planning to wait until that was finished before we did the dumps. Still, if people want to look at the output of the JSON APIs and brainstorm about what the right RDF schema for the data would be, that would be great and we can try publishing it for some test data on our own servers.
