Developing real world applications
Why not to try and make a search in these applications? You could search for a song or artist in MusicBrainz, or for an artifact in one of the Getty vocabularies. What is it that you find different from a conventional search engine?
Other examples
To explore the possibilities of linked data browsers and mashups (which combine data from many sources), look at these examples of working websites based on semantic web technology.Marbles
The Marbles site, created at the Berlin Freie Universitat, allows you to view presentations based on RDF data from multiple sources that are distinguished visually by marbles of different colours. At the bottom of the page, these colours are indexed to the URIs of the sources. The value of such presentations is that they show at a glance how strongly the information is attested among the various datasets, thus providing some indication of its reliability. Applications like Marbles that exploit multiple datasets are sometimes called mash-ups.DBpedia Mobile
DBpedia Mobile is an application for mobile devices (phones, pads) which uses location detection in order to offer information from DBpedia on the user’s current neighbourhood. The user sees a map the neighbourhood on which various features of potential interest are labelled; clicking on a label opens a pane giving information generated from DPpedia and linked datasets. The application uses the Marbles Linked Data Browser (see above).Some other sites
