Hey all, So, here's the scenario. I'm a regular web developer guy and I've heard about linked data. I know just enough about webservices and rest and xml and that sort of thing, and I'm sold on the big picture of the semantic web; and I've now just come across linked data. Q: What's available to help me know "when I'm doing it right"; and what's available to make it feel like there's an immediate payoff? So far, the simplest answer I have to that question is "whack a simple xsl ontop of it so the RDF gets rendered as not-very-pretty-but-hey-i-can-click-links html". Criteria for success: I can click from one half of my data set to the other, then end up at dbpedia, and then click off to somewhere else; and it feels like a unpretty normal web. So, to that end, I've whipped up this really quick and dirty stylesheet to basically do that. See http://pastebin.com/pastebin.php?dl=f289d4f5c Preview it by sticking this into your xml (and obviously host your own decent copy if you are using it in The Real World) <?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="http://pastebin.com/pastebin.php?dl=f289d4f5c" ?> What do you guys think of this approach? What other alternatives do you use in your datasets? IE, freebase renders either RDF or HTML through content negotiation; Some data sets have static html rendered
