NOTE: Getting various US government agencies "up to speed" on providing their open data as Linked Data (tm) is a *process* that includes preparing useful/actionable best practices, accompanied by a set of relevant standards. This has been the work of the W3C Government Linked Data Working Group over the past couple years. See <http://www.w3.org/2011/gld/wiki/Main_Page> Over the past few weeks and indeed days we have been pushing to "CR" status a number of vocabularies, including DCAT, ORG, and DATA CUBE, with ADMS and RegOrg soon to follow, as well as a "Best Practices" document. All of this is necessary "infrastructure" to help get Data.gov and its peers across the world publishing their OGD as LOGD... I won't attempt the footnotes-in-email game here; just go to the W3C GLD WG page <http://www.w3.org/2011/gld/wiki/Main_Page> and see all the deliverables. John PS: Huge debts of gratitude to all of my GLD peers, esp. current co-chairs Hadley Beeman and Bernadette Hyland, co-chair emeritus George Thomas, and W3C operative Sandro Hawke!
