RE: TimBL mentions Linking Open Data on BBC Radio4

Hi Tom,
I heard the interview too. It was cool (and slightly weird) to hear "semantic web" discussed on prime-time news, but I thought that Tim could have used a more compelling example. The interviewer didn't seem overly impressed by Tim's "find me music by people born within 100 miles of my ___location". OTOH, it's hard to come up with really compelling examples to use with non-specialists. Which examples does anyone else use to get the idea of LOD across in the mainstream?

Ian
