Yahoo is combining aspects of Web 2.0 and Semantic Web technologies by allowing users to find, use, and share content through their platform and open APIs. They have large amounts of user-generated data across many forms like search, text, bookmarks and tags. This data is accessible through web services using standards like HTTP, HTML, CSS, RDF, and OWL to describe and constrain the metadata which can then be mixed together through vocabularies and queried with SPARQL. One example is Yahoo! Food which allows these capabilities for food-related content.
