Nicholas,

Re. <http://dbpedialite.org/>, any chance that you could add <link 
rel="alternate" .../> links in <head/> such that the HTML based 
Descriptor Docs are associated with alternative Descriptor Docs in 
different formats (JSON, N3 etc..).

In addition, would you consider adding RDFa into the HTML Descriptor 
docs such that they to becomes a machine readable structured Linked Data 
Sources for RDFa aware agents etc.
