Use your current publishing worflow to publish your RDFa embellished docs. User Agents (Browsers, Crawlers, etc.): Get RDFa enabled (i.e., become an RDFa processor) so you can do something with Linked Data for Web users that enriches their overall experience courtesy of #1 above. Re. Virtuoso, you've always been able to SPARQL against any (X)HTML resource using Virtuoso's SPARQL processor (which leverages the Sponger Middleware & its RDFa Cartridge); simply use the RDFa embellished document's URL as the Named Graph IRI in your SPARQL query. Examples: 1. http://linkeddata.uriburner.com/sparql 2. http://lod2.openlinksw.com/sparql 3. http://bbc.openlinksw.com/sparql 4. Any other Virtuoso instance that enables the Sponging.
