Hi Olaf, regarding your question about usage of Linked Data in enterprises: > publishers in the classical sense (e.g. BBC) we've submitted a paper to the ESWC 2009 semweb in-use track about the use of Linked Data & DBpedia within the BBC [1]. Bottom line: The use of web-scale identifiers (in this particular case DBpedia & Musicbrainz) does solve problems within the enterprise, and provides real benefits for end-users. Interested to hear other's opinions...
