As the Linked Data meme beams across the Web, it is important to note that Ontology / Schema sharing and reuse is critical to the overall vitality of the burgeoning Semantic Data Web.

The items that follow attempt to demonstrate the point by way of SIOC (Semantically-Interlinked Online Communities Ontology) and MO (Music Ontology) domain exploration:

Linked Data or Dynamic Data Web Pages:

  1. Music Ontology Overview
  2. SIOC Ontology Overview
  3. SIOC Type Ontology Module (how you extend SIOC Concepts unobtrusively)
  4. SIOC Services Ontology Module (how you extend SIOC in relation to Services Modeling).

Semantic Web Browser Sessions:

  1. Music Ontology Overview via OpenLink RDF Browser
  2. SIOC Ontology Overview via OpenLink RDF Browser
  3. SIOC Type Ontology Module via OpenLink RDF Browser
  4. SIOC Services Ontology Module via OpenLink RDF Browser.

Key point, if you are modeling People, Communities, Organizations, Documents, and other entities in the People, Organizations, Documents etc. Data Space, don't forget to : FOAF-FOAF-FOAF it Up! :-)
