Much of the web is databases with a thin layer on top, and the whole point of the SW/LD architecture is that different sites don't need to agree on ontology; it just becomes an alternate, aggregatable database view, in a sense.

I think a lot of the SW hype's overblown - and I've worked in the field - but you're attacking something which doesn't exist.

While it may not exist, there are still people who promote the possibility. In particular the person I am responding to subscribes to the vision enough to believe that some day the user supplied categorization will be sufficient to make Google unnecessary.
