As a warm-up, our linked-data enthusiasts may want to start with 
skolemizing the Billion Triple Challenge (BTC) Dataset. According to 
[1], in the BTC 2010, of the 192 Million distinct "resource-objects" 
(defined as both URIs and blank nodes), 97 Million of them (that is, 
half of them!) were blank nodes (more precisely: distinct blank node 
identifiers).

Seems that the Semantic Web is still quite polluted with blank nodes, 
and it will probably need quite some enthusiasm, to skolemize them all 
away - and probably also quite some checking to make sure that nothing 
relevant gets broken by this effort...
