Semantic Web explanation

I suppose that would depend upon the flavor of semantic web being explained. The easiest would likely be to explain a "strutured semantic web" wherein web pages encode the "type" of word (rather like a MARC record) ... so you know who's an author, what's the subject, etc.

The non-structured (wherein software determines much of this from position or repetition) ... well, good luck.

Here's my challenge...How do I explain the Semantic Web to somebody I'm sitting next to on a plane..and make it interesting to them. So much of the writing on the subject is dry and technical. There was an article in Time? or Newsweek? (maybe the Economist?) a few months back about the SW (semantic web, not star wars;) and even that was like hiking though molasses. Any ideas or story tips?

Just like the old standards, things won't really take off until somebody develops tools to leverage the new standards without much user fuss.

I do wonder, though, who'll bother to write pages using a new standard when, for most people, the old "lack of new standard" will do.
