Not going to happen. The reason for the Semantic Web never taking off were never technical. Websites already spend a lot of money on technical SEO and would happily add all sorts of metadata if only it helped them rank better.

Making raw content available as a structured and query able database may work for the likes of Wikipedia or arxiv.org. But it’ll not likely going to be adopted by commercial sites.
