I've been part of 4 commercial project that used the semantic web in one way or another. All these project or at least their semantic web part where a failure. I think that I have a good idea on where the misunderstanding about the semantic web originate. The author does seem to have a good understanding and is right about the semantic web forcing everything into a single schema. Academia sells the straight jacked of the semantic web as a life long free lunch at an all-you-can eat-buffet but instead you are convicted to a life sentence in prison. Adopting RDF is just too costly because it is never the way computers or humans structure data in order to work with it. Of course everything can be organised in a hyper graph, there is a reason why Steven Wolfram also uses this structure, they just so flexible. At the end of the day I don't agree with the author opinion of the semantic web having much of a future, I did my best but it didn't work out, time for other things.
