Most of my academic and current research career involves RDF and SPARQL and I wish it were a bit more used outside of academia or esoteric library / information science related fields. Currently taking a bunch of heterogenous data from different providers, most of which is in some kind of relational database, then transforming it into RDF and letting it be queryable using sparql. The creation of aggregated entities based on related resources from different providers, plus the possibility to do some advanced querying using sparql, is the main benefit here, though I don't know enough about relational databases to say whether or not it's just as doable there. I'll say one disadvantage of RDF is the lack of any well implemented reification of triples.
