I think some kind of survey should be done to see what aspects of the 'semantic web' people are interested in. We all know as a few-year project intended to comprehensively remake the web SW failed, but it has many significant aspects which are important in the long term that SMW purported to

Hi all, Maybe I am running with this, but it would benefit the community to make these efforts generally reusable. I understand SMW is no longer trying to fit into the Wikimedia universe, but it still honours the MW approach of edits and source being human parseable and benefits from ongoing MW
