Hi, You may also have a look at our new "WarSampo - Finnish World War II on the Semantic Web" [1]
http://seco.cs.aalto.fi/projects/sotasampo/en/ that is an in-use online RDF data service, based on CIDOC CRM, and seven applications on top of it, with tens of thousands of users cumulatively by now. Its knowledge graph has at the moment over 7 million triples (from, e.g., 160 000 photos, 95 000 death records, etc.). The event-based approach is very suitable in domains such as history that is basically a sequence of events...

One may also point to the new national Danish museum system called SARA. This is not an rdf-based system. It is however based on CIDOC-CRM & Spectrum in the information architecture. This is, in my view, the most important think. A decision to organize the information compliant with the basic principles of CIDOC-CRM, makes the task to map the data into a rdf-triplestore or to other interfaces for linked data almost trivial. See (https://kulturognaturreise.files.wordpress.com/2014/09/kulturstyrelsen-sara.pdf). Most of the other documentation is for natural reasons in Danish. It may also be worthwhile to study Getty's Arches system (e.g. http://www.getty.edu/conservation/our_projects/field_projects/arches/) which have cidoc-crm included in a similar way to Wiski system.
