They're increasingly being used in the building automation industry to describe HVAC and lighting systems for analytics purposes.

RDF suits because inference allows it to deal with massive scope of data (the amount of different hvac products and configurations in buildings is crazy), and prevents vendor lock in (a surprisingly common concern in that industry).

The two relevant schemas are Project Haystack[0], and Brick Schema[1].

As far as I know, the most mature analytics provider is Skyspark[2].

Super interesting space.

I also think its very interesting space. It's just super hidden in big corporates with employee who do not know about hackernews.
