Smart Webbing?

ACM News Service: Spinning a Smarter Web.  Artificial intelligence researcher Sheila McIlraith of the University of Toronto "notes that the Semantic Web currently lacks a business case.  Even if one were to emerge, there is no guarantee that the Semantic Web will become universal.  Other challenges facing the Semantic Web include issues over privacy, and how agents can determine the trustworthiness of information when confronted by conflicting data."  It is also noted that there is major funding in Europe and that the Semantic Web is taken very seriously there.
