It has "project" rather than "usecase", and might need some extensions to support the fields that Dominic was suggesting. But it does provide a form based way to generate the initial RDF for you to publish, does the crawling and they provides a UI over the crawl. > The trouble is ...

Reusing patterns does make it easier for tools to aggregate and present data. The perfect might be the enemy of the good, but sometimes a little effort to do things consistently is good.
