One reason why you hear so little about the semantic web is that in many
ways it has won. That is, major progress has been made in all of the
directions that the semantic web set out to do. Almost all of them
relate to RDF graphs or property graphs in a fairly direct way, even
though the people who built and use the system might not know or care.
Look at this schema for web services:
https://github.com/raml-org/raml-spec/blob/master/versions/raml-10/raml-10.md/
It is all about giving meaning to IRIs; it is different from the
"dereferencing idea" but it is clearly in the same space. The type
system contains xsd and you could easily convert a RAML document to RDF
with a mechanical translation and from there implement the inference
that RAML uses to reduce boilerplate.

If your aim is to storm the ramparts, overturn the current titans of
the tech industry and get us out of the funk, I say:
* you cannot beat Facebook and Google at their game,
* but people are realizing those things don't serve them well
fundamentally giving up on the advertising model and focusing on power
tools used by 'media consumers' that filter, transform, remix, etc.
large amounts of content represented in the various ways it is commonly
represented.

Subject: [DBpedia-discussion] Semantic Web Deployment
Hi. Compared to the rest of the members of this lists I think I'm just
a Semantic Web 'hobbyist' in the sense I'm not that academically
involved with all of the standards.
But I was wondering what was the means by current Document Web (2.0)
became so successfully deployed in today's everybody's lifes and what
could be the means by which the same success could be achieved by the
Data (Semantic) Web.
Traditional web success could be the result of the ease of deployment
of servers, browsers and a standarized protocol for distributed peers
(hosts) which enabled browsers render served (hyperlinked) documents.
But what would be the means (servers, protocol, browsers) which will
enable Semantic (Data) Web widespread adoption? I see (and focus) on
considering the Data Web more oriented towards what could be the
'backend' side of the coin, augmenting, perhaps, traditional Document
Web (or whatever) applications. I don't see myself writing 'pages' or
UI in RDF, something current web does very well.
Anyone could comment or offer guidance on this (where in the
application stack should be SW stuff placed) please give me some
orientation. Meanwhile I share my thoughts regarding this in another
draft where I put what I'm trying to understand along the way:

Best,
Sebastián.
