I have had some success in explaining a three step process:

1. Publish whatever you have in whatever format it currently is in.
This provides data for people to start tinkering with and ask
questions about.
2. While data is out there, start thinking about the context it lives
in. We are looking at harmonizing the way agencies publish their
vocabularies as a first step (e.g. OWL).
3. Gradually adapt your data to make it use common identifiers for
common things.
