This is great, but it would be better if the seeAlso links pointed to the RDF rather than the HTML versions of pages. This would allow browsing by tools which understand RDF but not HTML.

The pages for the individual pages lack information that might link them to other entities. There is no mention of:

* software authors (use foaf:mbox_sha1sum if you're concerned about privacy)
* version control repositories (lots of people seem to be doing work based on the contents of publically accessible version control systems)
* standards in use (great because it allows people to link your tools with other similar tools; use http://projects.apache.org/docs/standards.html)
* there's no mention of the university on whose time this work was presumably done
