dajobe: looks prety accurate - people I know. sparql too
csarven: I'm not sure about the accuracy of 20+ years of experience in RDF ;)
 
csarven: An article about how-to create a Linked Data site using Fuseki and the Linked Data Pages framework.
tobyink: this is not dis-similar to how http://demiblog.org/ works.
