Large Scale Uses of RDF
In a recent post ReadWriteWeb laments the little use of RDF in commercial applications. While the general point is valid, they miss quite a few large scale uses of RDF that I wanted to share with you:
1) The largest use of RDF in a real web setting: FOAF, and in particular its support by Google's Social Graph API.
2) XMP, the format used by Adobe to embed metadata in PDF (and other) files. Its most commonly stored in a subset of RDF. With all the Adobe tools, this is deployed on more than a hundred million computers.
3) The use of RDF in Firefox, e.g. for the description and management of extensions. Just take a look at you profile directory, you'll see.
