We're working on glossy marketing case studies to support our sales (of
course, we don't mention "RDF" to the businessmen), but they're not yet
done.

We've used RDF in three client projects, two of which I can't
disclose.  The third project is really a "medical portal hosting" sort of
thing, being used by, for instance, http://www.cshp.net.  Unfortunately,
most of where RDF comes in is in the content aggregation and management,
visible to the webmaster more than the user.

Our own initiative in the area, www.opentechnology.org, makes _heavy_ use
of RDF and shows it, but it's still in alpha (and somewhat neglected due
to client imperatives) and there's not much for content yet.

So, no, I don't have anything I can show the list right now to truly
"blow some reality into the discussion".  It won't be very long before I
can, and I'll be sure to post the links here.
