Hi Luc,

I've written a few bits and pieces as I've learned about RDF and linked data that I hope might be useful:

http://www.meanboyfriend.com/overdue_ideas/2010/03/linked-data/
http://www.meanboyfriend.com/overdue_ideas/2010/04/whats-so-hard-about-linked-data/
and most recently http://www.meanboyfriend.com/overdue_ideas/2012/08/what-to-do-with-linked-data/

These are partly reflective pieces, and not intended as tutorials, but they do cover some of the underlying pieces and reflect my own journey learning about linked data so I hope they are some help.

I also wrote about my experiences querying RDF published by the British Museum using SPARQL: http://www.meanboyfriend.com/overdue_ideas/2011/12/experimenting-with-british-museum-data/. 

However, for a more structured introduction to RDF and SPARQL, specifically with bibliographic data in mind, I'd highly recommend this tutorial written by Ed Chamberlain at the University of Cambridge:
http://data.lib.cam.ac.uk/sparql.php

Hope some of these help

Owen
