This does not make a point for Siri's non-adoption of the standards. There was the admission that they have benefited from other people implementing and exposing data models through these standards in their end-points.

+1000

They (like most Web 2.0 model plays) have dragged their feet re. publishing or releasing an SDK or APIs -- that would have enabled 3rd party developers enhance Siri with domain and subject matter specific knowledgebases.

Google has successfully made a mockery of Siri due to myopia that's always dogged this product, and for good reason :-)

I'd like to point out the following excerpt from an  interview with Tom G.
John
_________________________________________________________
Nova Spivack: What about the Semantic Web? Is Siri built with Semantic Web open-standards such as RDF and OWL, Sparql?
Tom Gruber: No, we connect to partners on the web using structured APIs, some of which do use the Semantic Web standards. A site that exposes RDF usually has an API that is easy to deal with, which makes our life easier. For instance, we use geonames.org as one of our geospatial information sources. It is a full-on Semantic Web endpoint, and that makes it easy to deal with. The more the API declares its data model, the more automated we can make our coupling to it.
