Hello,

I have created quite number of examples using EasyRdf:
https://github.com/njh/easyrdf/tree/master/examples

But I would like to create a more complete real-world example, demonstrating how to publish Linked Data, as part of a PHP website. However I am not sure what the subject of the example should be!

Requirements:
- A subject that people will easily understand
- A finite number of entities in the domain (in the range of 50-500)
- An existing vocabulary/ontology for that domain
- Preferable to already have some kind of identifier

Ideas so far:
- Chemical Elements
- Countries of the World (already covered by World Factbook)
- British Monarchy
- Stations on the London Underground
- Airports

Technologies that I plan to use:
- PHP
- EasyRdf
- Slim Framework
- SPARQL Querying
- Turtle
- SPARQL Graph Store HTTP Protocol
- Twitter Bootstrap
- PHPUnit tests
- Some form of visualisation (Graphviz/Maps)


Any suggestions?


Thanks,

nick.
