Linked Open Data star badges

Tim Berners-Lee suggested a 5-star deployment scheme for Linked Open Data and there are concrete examples for each level (including costs and benefits) available. What follows are LOD badges you can slap on your dataset Web page to indicate your rating online:

no star	Web data (whatever format) without an open license
	Download the badge or paste the following code into your HTML page: <img src="http://lab.linkeddata.deri.ie/2010/lod-badges/img/data-badge-0.png" alt="no star Web data" />
★	make your stuff available on the Web (whatever format) under an open license
	Download the badge or paste the following code into your HTML page: <img src="http://lab.linkeddata.deri.ie/2010/lod-badges/img/data-badge-1.png" alt="one star open Web data" />
★★	make it available as structured data (e.g., Excel instead of image scan of a table) so that it can be reused
	Download the badge or paste the following code into your HTML page: <img src="http://lab.linkeddata.deri.ie/2010/lod-badges/img/data-badge-2.png" alt="two star open Web data" />
★★★	use non-proprietary, open formats (e.g., CSV instead of Excel)

★★★★	use URIs to identify things, so that people can point at your stuff and serve RDF from it
