The Library of Congress recently published the contents of ~1,250,000
historic newspaper pages as linked data [1] using Python and a RDMBS
(MySQL). I think it's somewhat misleading to suggest that RDF and
Linked Data aren't useful for expressing the relations locked up in a
RDBMS using familiar LAMP tools. Although certainly the data that we
are exposing isn't perfect, and could be improved in places :-)
