Oh, we KNOW that the world needs the Semantic Web to solve this
problem. Someday. Real Soon Now....
I guess the serious question is whether the cost of a few laughable
failures of the heuristic algorithms outweighs the cost of building
ontologies maintaining a lot of semantic metadata in the instances?
My guess is "no", by a couple orders of magnitude.
Of course the cost-benefit calculation would be very different for a
military system or a mission-critical enterprise system.
