Hi Roger,

I am not sure if your request includes intranet-only services.  
Anyhow, of those I wrote two major ones, each one as part of a mid- 
sized distributed information system project.

One of them is an implementaton of a configuration management  
database the other one acts as a facade around a document management  
system. Both serve and accept RDF and custom-made client side SDKs  
(more or less RDF/S, RDFForms[1], and OWL aware user agents in a  
sense) shield developers from the nitty-gritty details of HTTP and  
the RDF graph.

The RDF is sent as ntriples or RDF/XML and I am using XSLT to  
transform[2] to HTML depending on conneg.

One of those services started out serving Topic Maps but after I  
realized they just do not hit the 80/20 spot, I switched to RDF.

[1] http://www.markbaker.ca/2003/05/RDF-Forms/
[2] The services differentiate the RDF properties to determine the  
actual portion of the RDF graph to serve as an XML tree so the XSLT  
gets more than a flat, boring RDF/XML serialization :-)
