Here are some demonstrations of (X)HTML based representations of
resource descriptions from Freebase, DBpedia, BBC Music
Beta, CrunchBase, OpenCyc, and UMBEL etc. What
is really being demonstrated here is the use of Proxy / Wrapper
URIs to expose powerful links across entities distilled from their
container documents (or information resources). Of course, you see
exactly the same technique in action whenever you visit DBpedia pages. Again, we are moving the
concept of Linking from the document to document level, down to the
document-entity to document-entity level. The evolution of network link
focal points is illustrated in slides 15 to 22 of my Linked Data Planet presentation remix.

from Freebase to DBpedia via Wikipedia)
-
Amazon - CrunchBase (note: links from
CruncBase to DBpedia)

Cold Play - BBC
Music Beta (note: links to Musicbrainz)

Note: You can substitute my examples using any Web resource
URL. The underlying RDFization and Linked Data deployment functionality of the
Virtuoso demo instance takes care of
everything else. Also note that the HTML based resource description
page capability is now deployed as part of the Virtuoso
Sponger component of every Virtuoso
installation starting with from version 5.0.8.
