The following only applies to canonical knowledge representation techniques.
"A network is a graph comprising nodes of the same type connected by common edges (i.e., edges of a specific type) . In RDF parlance that means: a graph where the subjects and objects are of the same type connected by the same predicate e.g., a graph comprising entities of type "document" where each document connects to another via a "links-to" predicate."

Mathematically a network is a graph where the edges have weights.
In RDF graphs are typically where the edges have Types (or are bnodes). 

Neither the human brain nor advanced machine intelligence will store knowledge like that.
The true problem is that this Semantic Web Project's result will make scraping the Internet even easier, which I personally think, wasn't the original intention behind the project.

LLMs tend to blur the boundary between formal types and natural language. I think the value is adding hyperlinks to both text and data, via a common markup syntax.  For example the <a> tag in html, or "@id" in JSON-LD. Markdown, which is currently preferred by LLMs has its own syntax for creating links and graphs.

Hi Everyone, 
 
 It's been a while!
 
Computing has crossed an important threshold: AI Agents are turning decades of infrastructure and open standards into something we can finally use through natural language.
 
In a new blog post, I chronicle the journey from the pre-Web era to today's emerging Agentic Web.
 
Naturally, there's a live demo: a reactive dashboard generated by Muse as it interacts deductively with Virtuoso and the age-old Northwind SQL database—exposed as a Semantic Web through declaratively defined RDF Views, with no data copying required.
 
In my opinion, the arduous journey getting The Semantic Web Project to escape velocity is over.
 
Why?
 
Today's LLM-powered AI Agents have been trained on all the key specifications, dramatically reducing implementation and usability friction that held things back for decades.
 
Simply tell your Agent (a context rich harness wrapped around your preferred LLM), in natural language, what you want done with the data—and what kind of artifact you want to visualize the results.
 
The standards were already there.
 The infrastructure was already there.
 The data was already there.
 
The missing piece was a natural-language interface that made it all accessible.
 
That interface has arrived.
