Couple of factlets I jotted from a presentation the other day [1] : Adobe
[2] has integrated RDF support into their products (Acrobat, Photoshop etc)
and the figure suggested is about 10 million documents produced by these
will contain RDF by the end of the year; Sun Microsystems are using RDF
across the board in their internal knowledge management system (GKE) [3].

I'm sure there are plenty of other examples (like Mozilla and the thousands
of RSS 1.0 syndicated feeds...).

Cheers,
Danny.
