And, to be honest, I&rsquo;ve grown increasingly dissatisfied with the field.
To the point where I dread having to work on it.
Some day I will write about it in length, but today I&rsquo;ve stumbled upon a post that covers the topic quite well: <a class=link href=https://terminusdb.com/blog/the-semantic-web-is-dead/ target=_blank rel=noopener>The Semantic Web is Dead - <del>Long Live the Semantic Web</del></a> (styling mine).</p><p>In particular, this section has really resonated with me:</p><blockquote class=note><h1 id=academics-and-industry>Academics and Industry</h1><p>The political economy of academia and its interaction with industry is the origin of our current lack of a functional Semantic Web.</p><p>Academia is structured in a way that there is very little incentive for anyone to build usable software. Instead, you are elevated for rapidly throwing together an idea, a tiny proof of concept, and to iterate on microscopic variations of this thing to produce as many papers as possible.</p><p>In engineering, the devil is in the detail. You really need to get into the weeds before you can know what the right thing to do is. This is simultaneously a devastating situation for industry and academia. Nobody is going to wait around for a team of engineers to finish building a system to write about it in Academia. You’ll be passed immediately by legions of paper pushers. And in industry, you can’t just be mucking about with a system that you might have to throw away.</p></blockquote></section><footer class=article-footer><section class=article-tags><a href=/tags/semantic-web/>Semantic Web</a></section><section class=article-copyright><svg class="icon icon-tabler icon-tabler-copyright" width="24" height="24" viewBox="0 0 24 24" stroke-width="2" stroke="currentcolor" fill="none" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round"><path stroke="none" d="M0 0h24v24H0z"/><circle cx="12" cy="12" r="9"/><path d="M14.5 9a3.5 4 0 100 6"/></svg>
