Kingsley,
You should address your question directly to the project organisers,
we're a technology provider and host some of the data but it is not up
to us when or where the dumps get shared. My understanding is that
because this is officially sanctioned data they want to ensure that
the provenance is built into the datasets properly. My hope and wish
is that the commitment to making dumps available will be built into
the guidelines the UK Government are working on. But those won't be
issued during this month because of the election.
Okay, but the need for dumps is working its way into the fundamental
guidelines for Linked Open Data.
As you can imagine (and I have raised these concerns on the UK Govt mailing
list a few times), this project is high profile and closely associated with
Linked Open Data; thus, unclarity about these RDF dumps is confusing to say
the very least.
Anyway, I am set for now, will wait and see re. what happens post election
etc..
I should also add that some datasets do not have dumps, e.g. the
reference time and dates
