Lydia,
Showing the link to the concept URI on the client intended for human
browsers is a little confusing. I tried that link, but the content
negotiation fooled me into thinking it was just a redirect and lead me
astray.
An example that I have found very valuable in my work is UniProt - one of
the earliest adopters of semantic web technology in the life sciences. See
for example,
http://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/P15692
and click on 'Format' in the middle of the page there. Provides both human
and various computational representations of the data.
At one point in time, I recall that freebase added an 'RDF' link to each of
their pages. Obviously they aren't the model to follow for everything...
but I remember that being a well-received step forward.

p.s. Having very visible links to PDF versions of these pages but not
structured data just seems wrong . ;)

Hi Ben,
That's a very good point. We should really have direct links to JSON and
RDF
for each item (e.g., at the top-right, which seems to be the custom now
on
many web sites). We don't have an XML export (unless you count RDF/XML).
Do you have links to some examples how other websites do this?
Here are two examples:
*
http://www.deutsche-biographie.de/sfz99.html
*
http://d-nb.info/gnd/1026312019 (that's more to the right than to the
top)
Wikipedia already has links in the upper right of its pages to map
services. Somewhere similar might be intuitive. Of course, this type of
prominent link only makes sense for sites that are primarily data
repositories. BBC Music, for example, does not have an RDF download link on
every page, although they provide RDF.
