On our podcast, The Technium, we covered Semantic Web as a retro-future episode [0]. It was a neat trip back to the early 2000s. It wasn't a bad idea, pre se, but it depended on humans doing-the-right-thing for markup and the assumption that classifying things are easy. Turns out neither are true. In addition, the complexity of the spec really didn't help those that wanted to adopt its practices. However, there are bits and pieces of good ideas in there, and some of it lives on in the web today. Just have to dig a little to see them. Metadata on websites for fb/twitter/google cards, RDF triples for database storage in Datomic, and knowledge base powered searches all come to mind.
