Just to comment on this. It is really easy to extract the RDFS model of Foundry. And even plug Ontop on top [ah ah] of Foundry. So from my perspective, Palantir Foundry is DEFINITELY a semweb stack. [apart from another zillion of tools included in the stack]
PS: the stack will cost you an arm, a leg, an eye and your two kidneys.
