I have the exact same question. I discovered the semantic web almost 10 years ago, and still can't get it out of my head. I keep going back to it. Before writing this post, I was just reading the JSON-LD specification. I spent all weeks reviewing ontologies and wondering why nobody is taking it seriously. I'm convinced that the semantic web (now called "linked data") will be the next big thing. It will happen within the next 5 years. Expect to hear more people talk about it by the end of 2020. Personal health care, quantified self, and IoT communities will adopt it first, followed by AI people. Then it will spread very quickly.
