Do you know any solutions that produce RDF Linked Data from

Not yet... unfortunately. There are still open research problems:
ontology matching, linking algorithms. All of this is needed to
have such a system.
At what time in the future do you expect such a product to
emerge?
When such a system exist, is when we can say that everybody is on
the semantic web. Time... how about by the time I finish my PhD. :P
Well you've just made my point re. Cognitive Dissonance :-(
I don't agree. I am clearly stating a problem, and the paths needed
for it to be solved. How am I contradicting myself?
Read the question posed. I didn't ask you if there where any solutions
that you found palatable. I asked if any solutions existed at all.
Ok.. I believe I see where the confusion is. Of course virtuoso and
d2r server publish RDF linked data, etc. What I mean is that it does
not happen in an automatic fashion. That is needed! At least for all
my web developer colleagues who will never invest time in learning
about virtuoso and d2r server.
You don't know that Virtuoso automates the production of "Data Source"
ontologies, instance data, plus deployment of RDF Linked Data. And
because you don't know it doesn't exist, right?
