There's a significant (IMO) blog entry by Lee Feigenbaum of IBM talking about Semantic Web Technologies in the Enterprise. Worth reading, especially if you haven't really followed this technology before and want a good, readable summary of what the fuss is about.

I suspect we might start seeing real progress and innovation with this stuff now, but it's all deja-vu for me. I researched and got excited about its possibilities in the enterprise in California, over a year ago.

Who wants to help me build a Ruby stack for RDF/SPARQL/OWL, etc? Maybe a Rails-fronted Ruby triplestore? So many projects, so little time... I figure we might have about a year before the JENA crowd realizes that coding semantic web stuff in Java is just plain dumb.
