Very cool and a huge +1 for building on/reusing existing stuff (Atom etc.).
I'd be very interested to learn more about what you have if/once you can
share something. 

Please note as well that we (Juergen, in CC, and myself) have hacked a very
simple 'dataset dynamics' demo during the Linked Data Camp Vienna [1],
essentially using voiD and dady [2],[3] for change discovery and an extended
Atom format (introducing two new @rel values) to communicate add/remove
events. Details including the live demo, code, etc. available at [4].

Cheers,
      Michael
