building semantic competencies in an organization

Dear Colleagues,

I am looking for advice, success stories, lessons learned about building 
semantic competencies in a software development organization. 
Specifically, to reach a maturity level at which the organization can 
work productively with the W3 RDF stack in an open web platform through 
all phases, from schema modeling to datastore administration and 
programming to linked data platform design and implementation.

What types of people are suited for this work? What background knowledge 
and experience is helpful (or harmful!)?  Where do you find suitable 
candidates for this type of work, or how do you develop in-house 
programmer/analysts?

What training programs or websites have you found useful?

I take it as given that management commitment is important, but are 
there any specific advocacy materials that you have found effective? Any 
specific techniques for socializing this approach to all stakeholders?

Sincere thanks in advance for your thoughts.

Best,

--Paul
