Thanks Shane! I was really hoping that would come through. I think the approach ActiviPy takes may be a good gateway drug into linked data land, without requiring that someone be there from the beginning. That path is totally open to you, and (hopefully) made interesting to explore, without increasing the level of cognitive load to get started and hit the ground running.
