This recent link provides an interesting perspective on the use of the Semantic Web:
I have similar experiences. Many of the Semantic Web and W3C standards are useful. However, other related networking technologies like Facebook and Twitter have made a larger impact in a shorter period of time.
I am not quite sure of the future for the Semantic Web.
We have recently completed a related paper for agricultural applications (see paper revision) that includes the spirit of the Semantic Web while using a different approach called the M Language. I think this approach is better although, like the Semantic Web, it has some limitations.
I notice that most of the published criticisms of the Semantic Web come from industry, the folks who need to make it work in practice.
