Lydia,

Showing the link to the concept URI on the client intended for human
browsers is a little confusing.  I tried that link, but the content
negotiation fooled me into thinking it was just a redirect and lead me
astray.

An example that I have found very valuable in my work is UniProt - one of
the earliest adopters of semantic web technology in the life sciences. See
for example,

http://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/P15692
and click on 'Format' in the middle of the page there.  Provides both human
and various computational representations of the data.

At one point in time, I recall that freebase added an 'RDF' link to each of
their pages.  Obviously they aren't the model to follow for everything...
 but I remember that being a well-received step forward.

-Ben

p.s. Having very visible links to PDF versions of these pages but not
structured data just seems wrong . ;)
