I don't think any of Ontopia's customers have data that are available  
without the recipient having to make some kind of agreement first,  
unfortunately.

We do have some free data, though:

  - the Free XML Tools topic map,

  - the opera topic map (surprise, surprise),

  - i18n.ltm,

  - the Mondial topic map,

  - probably some other bits and pieces.

Blank. Sorry.

I know Kjetil Kjernsmo has set something up at opera.com using RDF.  
What sort of data it contains I don't know.

No. I might set something up for the Free XML Tools site, though.
