So enhanced web pages are not likely to be natively linked to the "LOD" cloud (sorry there simply is no incentive to do so by data producers) so it will take something to actually create these link externally, but this might indeed happen well if the entities are described in a reasonable way in first place (something for which there are indeed incentives to do) So in conclusion I wouldnt give up on the Semantic Web yet, as at least at the moment there is a promising new wave of deployment. (which clearly wont last however unless more incentives are displayed) Giovanni
