I don't know if rpmfind service qualifies as an "industry-strength products" but the RDF database of Linux package metadata http://rpmfind.net/linux/RDF/ is the base for the rpmfind service and it's replication mechanism I've got nasty troubles with my logs lately but approximately 10% of rpmfind.net traffic are just RDf metadata fetches (approx half a million fetches per month). The catalogs are also used to build mirrors of the service or the HTML pages front-end like http://rpmfind.net/linux/RPM/ but I have no estimate for the number and popularity of mirrors.
