Semantic Web emerges as commercial-grade infrastructure for sharing
data on the Web

Great!
1. Where do I download the free browser?
2. What are the URLs of some commercial-grade websites using this new
"infrastructure"?

If RDF-enhanced browsing is your interest, you might want to
check out Magpie (don't have the URL handy, sorry). It's a
browser plugin that enhances web pages with annotations based on
a pre-selected ontology. Nifty stuff.

2. What are the URLs of some commercial-grade websites using
this new "infrastructure"?

Most of the commercial applications I have seen sofar mainly
target corporate intranets and as such are usually not visible
from the outside.

But the FOAF project (http://www.foaf-project.org/) is an
interesting starting point if you want to learn more about what
this stuff can do.
