The Library of Congress recently published the contents of ~1,250,000 historic newspaper pages as linked data [1] using Python and a RDMBS (MySQL). I think it's somewhat misleading to suggest that RDF and Linked Data aren't useful for expressing the relations locked up in a RDBMS using familiar LAMP tools. Although certainly the data that we are exposing isn't perfect, and could be improved in places :-) //Ed [1] http://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/newspapers.rdf
