The concept is simple and ingenious, and applicable to any type of resource. Many years ago, inspired by the then-new GRDDL spec) I built a modest RDF gleaning framework for tracing software requirements through development and testing. It gleaned from requirements documents and functional specification (in MS Word format), design documents (in TeX), source code (c++), test results (in XML), and probably also plain text (csv) and MS Excel.
