Thank you for putting in time and effort to the Geminiverse.
That said, I don't think the Semantic Web is a good fit forGemini, and the experience of the Semantic Web and linked data on theWWW suggests that it is a technological dead-end that we are probablybetter-off not pursuing.
This article does a good job of summarizing what the promise of theSemantic Web was, and how it has come to be regarded as "as dead as lastyear's roadkill":
