Lee,

Here are our contributions (endpoint: http://demo.openlinksw.com/sparql):

1. http://virtuoso.openlinksw.com/dataspace/dav/wiki/Main/NorthWindREF  
- against live RDF Views of Northwind SQL Database (Products, Customers, 
Orders etc.)

2. http://virtuoso.openlinksw.com/dataspace/dav/wiki/Main/ODSSIOCRef - 
collection of SPARQL queries against SIOC based exploration of OpenLink 
Data Space s blogs, wikis, bookmarks, calendars, feed subscriptions etc..)

3. http://virtuoso.openlinksw.com/dataspace/dav/wiki/Main/ODSFOAFRef - 
collection of SPARQL queries for FOAF navigation of OpenLink Data Spaces

4. http://virtuoso.openlinksw.com/dataspace/dav/wiki/Main/ODSSKOSRef - 
collection of SPARQL queries for SKOS based exploration of Tag Spaces 
associated with OpenLink Data Spaces

5. http://virtuoso.openlinksw.com/dataspace/dav/wiki/Main/SIOCRefDocs- 
collection of SPARQL queries using SIOC to explore Virtuoso's Online 
Docs Data Space

6. 
http://virtuoso.openlinksw.com/dataspace/dav/wiki/Main/WordPressSIOCRef 
- SPARQL queries for exploring Wordpress Data when Deployed via 
Virtuoso's PHP runtime hosting

7.  
http://virtuoso.openlinksw.com/dataspace/dav/wiki/Main/MediaWikiSIOCRef 
- ditto re. MediaWiki

8. http://virtuoso.openlinksw.com/dataspace/dav/wiki/Main/PHPBB3SIOCRef 
- ditto phpBB

9. http://virtuoso.openlinksw.com/dataspace/dav/wiki/Main/DrupalSIOCRef 
- ditto Drupal

10. http://www4.wiwiss.fu-berlin.de/benchmarks-200801/#queries - DBpedia 
Benchmark Queries (* run against the DBpedia SPARQL endpoint at: 
http://dbpedia.org/sparql *)

11. http://tinyurl.com/5fjp5h - Collection of Inference based Queries 
against DBpedia that leverage the Yago Class Hierarchy

Note: re. the ODS examples (items 2 - 4 ), if you change the SPARQL 
endpoint to: <http://community.linkeddata.org/sparql> , and Graph IRI in 
the SPARQL FROM clause to: <http://community.linkeddata.org/sparql>, you 
can then run the SIOC, FOAF, SKOS examples against the live LOD Data 
Space with more interesting results.
