Actually, I'm fairly certain from interim, high level, reports, that they do have a semweb solutions in mind, but for unknown reasons modified the language in the final report.

?!

    Hello to all,

    A central point is to create an "Universal Exchange Language" that is
    architecturally neutral, XML-based, extensible, optimized for
    representing structured data, and that should have the ability to
    include/ reference controlled vocabularies. That language would be
    used to design fine-grained data elements that could be tagged with
    metadata. These data elements should be modular, reusable, interlinked
    and should not be tied to a specific context.


Like it or not, they were probably thinking of HL7 and ISO 21090. We would need to show how semweb solutions are a better solution, or how it is tied too much to healthcare, leaving out life sciences, population science, chemistry, etc. We don't yet have *a* solution for this, we have several. :-)
