Michael, Have you seen the work the UK Government has done in the last week? Every UK Government Central Government Department, Executive Agency and Arms Length Body has published information about itself, using RDF. It's a *huge* number of organisations publishing RDF data for the first time (over 100 UK Government organisations published their first RDF last week!!). It proves that Linked Data is ready for prime time delivery of government policy commitments on the web. The RDF data is based on the organisation ontology, plus a number of other vocabularies (from DCT, FOAF etc to VOID). You will find a list of organisations with RDF data here: http://data.gov.uk/search/apachesolr_search/?filters=sm_resource_formats %3ARDF%20tid%3A5024 This is available for browsing through the Linked Data API driven visualisations, from: http://data.gov.uk/organogram For example: http://reference.data.gov.uk/gov-structure/organogram/?dept=dfe&post=DfE-1001 I suggest you click through to the Linked Data API Explorer views and have a nose at the turtle and various concept schemes. For example: http://reference.data.gov.uk/doc/department/dfe/post/DfE-1001 Hope that helps? John.
