I'm seeing several people asking what RDF is useful for. If you're curious, I use it for basketball analytics: https://github.com/andrewstellman/pbprdf

Here's an article about my system, pbprdf: https://www.zdnet.com/article/nba-analytics-and-rdf-graphs-g...

And an example of its use: https://gist.github.com/andrewstellman/4872dbb9dc7593e56abdd...

Here's an example of what the RDF files generated by pbprdf look like:

Here's the ontology, which defines the vocabulary it uses: https://github.com/andrewstellman/pbprdf/blob/master/generat...

And this is what the data looks like:

  <pbprdf/games/2017-11-29_Warriors_at_Lakers/230> pbprdf:shotPoints "3"^^xsd:int ;
        pbprdf:shotAssistedBy <pbprdf/players/Klay_Thompson> ;
        pbprdf:shotType "26-foot three point jumper" ;
        pbprdf:shotMade "true"^^xsd:boolean ;
        a pbprdf:Shot ;
        pbprdf:shotBy <pbprdf/players/Stephen_Curry> ;
        a pbprdf:Play ;
        pbprdf:forTeam <pbprdf/teams/Warriors> ;

        pbprdf:time "10:23" ;
        pbprdf:period "3"^^xsd:int ;
        a pbprdf:Event ;
        rdfs:label "Warriors: Stephen Curry makes 26-foot three point jumper (Klay Thompson assists)" ;
