I'm sort of suspicious of the "semantic web" stuff. On the surface, it looks good, but there are some architecture astronaut type people that I've seen involved and who I don't trust to "make something I want".

Reminds me of those 'the house of tommorrow' cartoons they made in the 60s.

Those all are current trends, not future
