Practical RDF

I'm reading Shelley (of Burningbird fame) Powers' book Practical RDF. Digging through the end of chapter 2 and "merging lemma"s, and I'm thinking "so how is this used?" I skimmed through to the end, and while I saw a few tools for querying RDF, I don't think I saw any real-world applications except for RSS. Are there any? And are there any indications that the people who might actually build tools to help encode semantic information in web pages will care about RDF? I don't want to rehash the old flame wars here, but it sure seems like a lot of verbosity to justify a "semantic web" label without actually giving anything any real meaning.

In a few days, Dan, I will show why we use RDF to manage the QA Matrix at W3C, explaining why it's useful and practical.

W3C finds it useful -- I can't think of a better reason to stay away!

As promised Why the QA Matrix in RDF?, the
article I was talking about.
We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your
comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel
they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine,
if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't
try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted
if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and
more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave
such ridicule in place.
