This is great news! And since my last couple of threads here have been
grumbles about this or that detail, I just want to say congrats and
kudos to all those who've made this happen. I think the cloud diagrams
are proving a very compelling visual for people who don't care about
nerdy detail but understand the idea of interlinked datasets.
BTW I also showed some of the clouds during a panel talk in last week's
HURIDOCS conference on human rights documentation ("Human Rights Council
and the International Criminal Court: The New challenges for Human
Rights Communications"), http://www.huridocs.org/involved/conference/
... I'll post more on this after I blog the slides.
Also good to see this discussion over on the Sunlight Labs list,

cheers,
Dan
