Data.ac.uk

From the website:

This is a landmark site for academia providing a single point of contact for linked open data development. It not only provides access to the know-how and tools to discuss and create linked data and data aggregation sites, but also enables access to, and the creation of, large aggregated data sets providing powerful and flexible collections of information.
Here at Data.ac.uk we’re working to inform national standards and assist in the development of national data aggregation subdomains.

I can’t imagine a greater contrast between my poor web authoring skills and a website than this one.

But having said that, I think you will be as disappointed as I was when you start looking for data on this “landmark site.”

There is some but not nearly enough to match the promise of such a cleverly designed website.

Perhaps they are hoping that someday RDF data (they also offer comma and tab delimited versions) will catch up to the site design.

I first saw this in a tweet by Frank van Harmelen.
