When I hear "Semantic Web", I think:
That's the heavy weight XML bloated thing that has, something like 10+ years ago, moved towards N3 or Turtle, more recently to JSON-LD, and will, in due time, hopefully arrive at Prolog syntax as a very natural and convenient representation that is at the same time amenable for direct processing in a programming language that is eminently well suited for the domain of knowledge representation.
Which, I admit, may raise the question why Prolog syntax was not chosen all along, given that its syntax was invented and even standardized decades ago. By the way: A few members of the consortium were well aware that Prolog syntax would have been an excellent choice for RDF. Only a few though.
