Re: "State of the Semantic Web" - personal opinions?

I think it is important not to asses the semantic web as though it  
were another software technology like OOP.  People who miscategorize  
it in that way look for the wrong form of return on investment.  It is  
important to look as it as an interconnection  bus, and it hasn't  
started working in earnest until one person's data is being used by  
some other unplanned use. This unexpected reuse is the meaure.

So I would be interest in you analysis of the way in which people have  
re-used things like the Linked Open Data out there.    Mashups which  
have been build on it and so on.  Application-specific things and non- 
specific.
