RDF in non-semantic web applications

We know that RDF is the cornerstone of the semantic network. Therefore, we can use RDF to describe electronic libraries, content for search engines, schedules for web events, etc.

However, is it possible to apply the RDF model to non-semantic web applications? Are there any examples?

You can use RDF in the interface and / or in the backend.

As soon as you use it in the interface (RDFa in HTML, separate RDF files, etc.), you play the "part" on the semantic network. There are no websites / applications that could not use RDF.

If you use it only in the backend (database, import of RDF data, etc.), you do not publish any RDF, and therefore there is nothing "semantic" about your site / application. It can consume semantic web data, but it does not produce it.

important, I think, may be the direct mapping RDB2RDF . There is a lot of "non-semantic" data. But actually it is a question of terminology. When you reference RDF, you use the concept of the Semantic Web.
