One of the projects I’ve been working on recently is for the Joint Information Systems Committee (JISC) here in the UK.
Like the BBC, the UK Government and others, they’re interested in the opportunities created by adoption of Linked Data, and will be issuing a call to fund some projects in the space early next year.
As part of the process, I was asked to prepare a short report and some recommendations for activity across the sector.
A draft of that report is now available, and both JISC staff and myself would welcome any comments that you might have before we finalise the document. I should stress – several times – that this document is a draft, and that its recommendations have not been endorsed by JISC.

Hi Paul,
Interesting stuff.
This will sound like pushing my stuff, but I think it is fair to say:
1) I would have thought that HE people who were looking to see what advantages Linked Data might bring might possibly be interested in seeing RKBExplorer.com
2) You seem to make little mention of the problem of generating links between institutions, an activity on which JISC might be able to take an initiative.
By the way, you may not have seen a recent JISCRI project, dotAC (dotac.info) that tackled some of this in a small way.
Best
Hugh
