Examples of using semantic web technologies in rea

Question

Answer 1

O'Reilly's Practical RDF has a chatper titled Commercial Uses of RDF/XML. The table at the left lists the subsections: Chandler, RDF Gateway, Seamark, and Adobe's XMP stuff.

Answer 2

Ontology-aware search engines:

• GoPubMed (http://gopubmed.com)
• Anatomy Lens (http://services.alphaworks.ibm.com/anatomylens/)

Mobile applications:

• IYOUIT (http://www.iyouit.eu) does OWL reasoning

Answer 3

Microsoft Interactive Media Manager is a metadata management system developed on the Microsoft SharePoint platform that heavily leverages RDF, OWL, and SPARQL. It has some big customers in the broadcast space and is an excellent example of enterprise use of these technologies.

Answer 4

Three of Garlik's (www.garlik.com) services, DataPatrol, QDOS and a FOAF viewer all use RDF and SPARQL extensively.

DataPatrol in particular and has tens of thousands of users in the UK. The dataset size is around ten billion RDF triples.

Answer 5

We are serving up rdf at biodiversity.org.au, and are planning to put a SPARQL engine over it. The bioinformatics community is very interested in RDF in general.

See: http://biodiversity.org.au/name/Dodonaea%20viscosa.rdf

The html search interface is at http://biodiversity.org.au/name/

Also see http://rs.tdwg.org/ontology/voc/TaxonConcept

Note that what you see in the web browser is OWL run through a stylesheet. Do a "view source" to see the OWL.

Metatomix uses semantic technologies (RDF, ontologies, etc) in a few of their applications: www.metatomix.com
