• Elite and specialized users will be able to take advantage of the
semantic web in ways that everyday internet users likely will not.
• Business applications will have more stakeholders than consumer or
social apps.
• There are some applications and activities online that show the
promise of the semantic web among them:
TripIt, Xobni, TrueKnowledge, Wolfram|Alpha, Open Calais, Hakia.
• Google plans to incorporate Semantic Search
