The layered Semantic Web cake

This has got to be one of the best blog posts relating to semantic web. It simply extends the original 2D semantic web layer cake to 3D, which provides a mechanism to associate some abstracts with their implementations ( e.g. Syntax --> N3/TURLE RDFa XML JSON ). @zazi goes on to providing some links to server as jump points for each of the building blocks.

Sunlight Foundation - Stop Transparency Cutbacks

To quote the Sunlight Foundation: "Some of the most important technology programs that keep Washington accountable are in danger of being eliminated. Data.gov, USASpending.gov, the IT Dashboard and other federal data transparency and government accountability programs are facing a massive budget cut, despite only being a tiny fraction of the national budget. Help save the data and make sure that Congress doesn’t leave the American people in the dark."
