Impressive salary for a company with a website that consists of a free domain parking placeholder. My buddy made 1/10 that with 200 employees working for him and that was still enough to afford him four houses. But the point here is that RDF and semantic databases have some specific uses which can be interesting, but I don't see it as a silver bullet for the next information age. Everything that I have seen so far tells me that while it does have its uses, the hype is a bit exaggerated for marketing purposes. There are good systems out there but they are prohibitively expensive, and the people who need them the most are the ones who don't already have the kind of money required. This type of technology doesn't become useful unless it is cheap and available to those who have the ideas to run with it. And it must be simple and easy to use, none of which is true currently. That can change at some point, of course.
