Re: Semantic web help

Roshan,

mindswap.org has some useful demos using SW technology. [1]
Swoogle is a Semantic Web search engine. I haven't explored it 
thoroughly, so I can't vouch for its usefulness. [2]
The FOAF Explorer is a FOAF-based visualiser. [3]
Many blogging and social networking tools these days use FOAF in some 
way or another; of course, almost every blog is a source (direct or 
indirect) of RSS1.0, which is an RDF vocabulary for describing news 
items.

It would be helpful if you were more specific; do you mean "practical" 
as in store/inference engine/etc. implementations, or "practical" as in 
getting real-world data into RDF? There's a lot of references we can 
all throw at you!

It's difficult to refer to the Semantic Web being "implemented", as 
it's a rather ephemeral thing. I expect it will sneak up on us all.

HTH,
-Richard
