Indeed. I'm in fact surprised of all the negative comments regarding RDF and the rest of the Semantic Web here on HN. Not to mention the huge amount of research that is pouring in these topics from academia. I guess you're right, they may be adopted but just not talked about? If you search on HN anything of the Semantic web there's still very little content. It could be that academia is not very good at making these topics exciting enough. Nonetheless there must be a reason why so much research goes into things like RDF otherwise they wouldn't be thought so extensively in university.
