RE: Creating a complete LOD example
Hello, I have created quite number of examples using EasyRdf: https://github.com/njh/easyrdf/tree/master/examples But I would like to create a more complete real-world example, demonstrating how to publish Linked Data, as part of a PHP website. However I am not sure what the subject of the example should be! ... Any suggestions? My family tree - it needs redoing now the Talis store it was in has been turned off. Obviously this would have limited interest to the broader public...

RE: Creating a complete LOD example
Underground stations might be quite a good one to do - there's the TRANSIT ontology which might help there: http://vocab.org/transit/terms/.html Otherwise, I've always found Food to be a fairly simple domain to start off with, and one that most people can relate to...

Re: Creating a complete LOD example
Sounds good, Nick. And thanks for all your efforts - it is a great tool. Do you have a complete real-world example, demonstrating how to consume Linked Data, as part of a PHP website. If not, wouldn't be good if your publishing example played well with a plan for such an example? (There is a lot of publishing going on, but very little consuming?) So you would need to take cognisance of what the consuming example would be when choosing the publishing. So some tecchy things like: Other existing data sources *in RDF* to consume. Some only Linked Data, and maybe some with only SPARQL endpoint. Interesting Linked Data URIs to link to. More than one ontology on the same subject (yes, I really mean that!) Linking to non-Linked Data sources (yes, I really mean that!) - a site like LinkedIn, imdb, amazon, ... And indications on the subject topic: Geo is always great - people get excited about seeing things on maps, even when it is worthless. Make some of the data private? - Show how to link my private data with public data would confront some misconceptions on the meaning of Open. The suggestion of Monarchy is quite close to something that helps me manage my genealogy (some of which I would want private), although that might be too mainstream and comes with lots of competitive systems. Music and entertainment always excites - helping me publish my interests (with a private option?). And then the structure to begin meshing that with public data (I think the BBC has some of that!), with mapping of course. That is a similar structure to the genealogy and many other things. Maybe this is all more complicated and a bigger project than you meant, but my 2d worth. Of course, if you want any help from the sameAs.org world, please tell me. It would be great if you used one of them as one of the Linked Data sources (they do do Linked Data). And if you wanted one of your own for the exercise, that would be fine.

Easily understood, finite number of entities (depending on how far you want to go back and out), existing base vocabulary (FOAF, Bio) with potential for a few simple vocabulary extensions, lots of opportunities for interlinking, and interesting queries. It's virtually perfect.
