I'm building a front end app for Wikipedia & Wikidata called Conzept encyclopedia (https://conze.pt) based on semantic web pillars (SPARQL, URIs, various ontologies, etc.) and loving it so far.

The semantic web is not dead, its just slowly evolving and and growing. Last week I implemented JSON-LD (RDF embedded in HTML with a schema.org ontology), super easy and now any HTTP client can comprehend what any page is about automatically.

See https://twitter.com/conzept__ for many examples what Conzept can already do. You won't see many other apps do these things, and certainly not in a non-semantic-web way!

The future of the semantic web is in: much more open data, good schemas and ontologies for various domains, better web extensions understanding JSON-LD, more SPARQL-enabled tools, better and more lightweight/accessible NLP/AI/vector compute (preferably embedded in the client also), dynamic computing using category theory foundations (highly interactive and dynamic code paths, let the computer write logic for you), ...

The future of the semantic web is in big companies. Where handling data exchanges at scale is becoming a massive waste of time, resources and sanity.

That looks cool, thank you!
