The semantic web platform is still in its infancy. My cofounder is developing semantic web applications for a university's engineering department. They want to use it to catalog engineering parts and allow for an algorithm to determine the parts needed for a project based on set specifications. At least that is my understanding of the project.
Right now, the semantic web is very vaporous because it is an underutilized platform. If the platform is adopted more readily it could allow for software to process data more intelligently for nearly any industry. Essentially, it has potential assuming that it is adopted.
Although, I think it will be a long time before anyone outside of academia or commercial industry will find it useful.
