well, any kind of data on the web usually is a good example, if people 
publish it in ways where the URI identifiers are resolvable (i.e., they 
actually publish data that's actually *on the web* and don't just use 
the web as FTP with a different protocol). if used according to the 
linked data principles, RDF is one popular example. there also are many 
XML and JSON data providers that interlink resources by using working URIs.

for concrete services, opencontext.org might be a good example. i am 
cc'ing eric kansa (the main driver of opencontext), since he has put a 
lot of effort and care into make opencontext a good hypermedia service, 
regardless of the representations people prefer (you can get datasets in 
XML, JSON, RDF, or CSV, and probably other formats as well).

thanks and cheers,

dret.
