Not until you've done a little thinking.  Then it will very likely
start to grow on you. ;-)

The semantic web originally was supposed to build on top of the web as
we know it, applying AI to extract semantic relationships.  But what
they discovered almost immediately was that the semantics generally
aren't there, that they have to be injected into the existing content.
This led to attempts to define standards for including semantic
relationships by committee, but that's wrong-headed.
