This article does a good job of summarizing what the promise of the
Semantic Web was, and how it has come to be regarded as "as dead as last
year's roadkill":

I agree with the general idea that the Semantic Web was a bad idea andis now dead but this article has also its own problems, ranging fromthe personal crusade of the author against XML (which is unrelated tothe Semantic Web, which was always more abstract than a given dataformat) to frank mistakes like "To host your own website, you need tobuy a domain name from ICANN".
