Semantic web has been there many times before, under various names. Some of that history visible here: https://medium.com/@schivmeister/the-semantic-web-where-is-it-now-f4773f3097e3.
Meanwhile we have many Fortune 500 clients being quietly productive with it. And interest seems to only be growing.

All,
Wanted to share this interesting announcement: "Ontologies and Graphs" are now in the trough of disillusionment of the Gartner 2020 Hype Cycle for Emerging Technologies.

Note that Knowledge Graphs appeared in 2019 but are not in 2020 because the capabilities are subsumed under "Data Fabric".
Always need to take with a grain of salt what the analyst and pundits have to say, but this is definitely a milestone for this community IMO.
