Re: Creating a complete LOD example

a) Government structure - makes sense as data.gov.uk is likely to have a lot of the models already

b) If the intent is to create an example which an average user understands (e.g. dummies guide to LOD) then use an example everyone (in the "modern world") will get, finds interesting and has easy referential example to: e.g. Character relationships in the Simpsons TV show, or the realm tree/family tree of Game of Thrones or Star Wars. Or practical like showing the structure of Google Inc or Fox.

(e.g. People, a service/s and hypertext locations eg: google.com etc)

a map of the interconnections amongst European Royalty (obviously a
larger problem) and was surprised not to find much. I think eventually
I did find some GEDCOM family tree info.

shows there's interest.

If you want to get into species (slippery stuff...), that search also
threw up http://blogs.nature.com/news/2008/07/family_tree_shows_dinos_missed.html
http://palaeo.gly.bris.ac.uk/macro/supertree/index.html "Several years
ago, a different 'Bristol team', but including some of the same
members, produced the first supertree of dinosaurs, incorporating 277
species, and based on 150 source trees. This served its purpose, and
was the largest supertree attempted at that time. However, with 277
species included, this covered only some 50% of dinosaurian
diversity."

Either way, it'd be great if some kind of interesting network
structure existed amongst the entities in your descriptions, to help
illustrate that with Linked Data there are often 3 different notions
of network all intermingled; e.g. social networks, hypertext networks
and semantic networks.
