Not related to this thread, but this just in:
The LOD cloud was just on a slide presented at
http://transparencycamp.org for the future of http://www.recovery.gov,
the website for tracking spending in the U.S.'s economic recovery
package. Very thrilling to see it being taken seriously by the U.S.
government.
This is great news! And since my last couple of threads here have been
grumbles about this or that detail, I just want to say congrats and
kudos to all those who've made this happen. I think the cloud diagrams
are proving a very compelling visual for people who don't care about
nerdy detail but understand the idea of interlinked datasets.
BTW I also showed some of the clouds during a panel talk in last week's
HURIDOCS conference on human rights documentation ("Human Rights Council
and the International Criminal Court: The New challenges for Human
Rights Communications"), http://www.huridocs.org/involved/conference/
... I'll post more on this after I blog the slides.
Also good to see this discussion over on the Sunlight Labs list,
