Well, I'm with Clay Shirky that the semantic web is still a bit
far away for the general public, but there are definitively
interesting use cases within organizations. Think of support
for semi-automated mapping of data fields from several interface
standards onto DB fields. Of course you still need to put a lot
of manual labour into refining the ontologies and possibly custom
enhancements for the inference engine, but even a 70% correct
generated mapping or impact analysis saves already a lot of work.

Heck, it's already somewhat useful for documenting the equivalences
and differences of specialized terms used in different departments
of the organization.
