RDF, Semantic Web - recent activity

Hi Dan,

I have been reading your profile and am excited to see RDF/Semantic Web as your interest areas. I have been trying to find some recent developments in this space and most of my search is ending up in old documents (not updated after 2006 or so) and applications. What is the current state of these technologies? I believe we haven't yet started to tap the potential of semantic web and probably the biggest challenge is to be able to re-express stuff in sem-web friendly way.

However, in light of the new developments in the web, especially Web 2.0 buzz and REST style services popping up all over the place, isn't it time to ride the sem-web wave to ensure the data that is generated out of these new services is sem-web friendly?

Do you have any recent work in this area?

Any help/direction is much appreciated.

Thanks & Regards,
Charles Prakash Dasari
