Here's are some links showcasing the effect of COLD's use of Linked Data 
as an integral part of their home page construction effort:

1. 
http://linkeddata.uriburner.com/about/html/http/db.uwaterloo.ca/cold2013/ - 
follow-your-nose via the foaf:primaryTopic relation object
2. 
http://linkeddata.uriburner.com/about/id/entity/http/db.uwaterloo.ca/cold2013/#ws 
- a proxy/wrapper Linked Data URI for the workshop
3. http://bit.ly/ZVdE9Q -- faceted browser page that delivers 
follow-your-nose navigation and serendipitous discovery across different 
entity relationship dimensions .

Now I pass your URL to the same Linked Data browsing/exploration 
service, and I get:

• 
http://linkeddata.uriburner.com/about/html/http://www.jbiomedsem.com/content/4/S1/S5 
.

Question: where is the Linked Data ?
