I think there remains confusion: SearchMonkey *is* live. Here's the Creative Commons application which you can add right now to your Yahoo account: http://gallery.search.yahoo.com/application?smid=kVf Once you have that turned on, any result in your Yahoo searches that contains RDFa that indicates a copyright license will show up with an information bar that explains this. Yahoo hasn't made the triples accessible via a simple GET, because the point of SearchMonkey is to use the triples to drive an application that enhances search results. But it is very much live, and Creative Commons and other RDFa folks are actively working with it. -Ben
