Interesting project: Stonebraker is putting "wrappers" around departmental course web sites for various departments to create a testbed for research on federated dbms. This might have been a good set of data: we develop independently an ontology for courses,... and then map each of these to them! But it is kind of narrow semantically - except that as you visit different sites you realize that the ontology needs to become richer and richer ;-) This is a problem that our methodology should look into later on.

here are the ones we have wrapped so far....
