And:
4. The end of email spam and phishing-prone communication, replaced by PKI-backed interactions using hyperlinks to denote X.509 (or even JSON Web Token) subjects
5. A Web where logic is no longer buried in applications, but woven directly into the fabric of linked data—powering workflows that adapt to both present and future challenges
The pieces have been here all along.
Now, they finally work together.
Problems and solutions combos include:
1. Knowledge that is progressively generated, expressed using Linked Data principles, and realized as living knowledge graphs—not static documents
2. Fine-grained, attribute-based access control (ABAC) that protects data intelligently while enabling entirely new Data-as-a-Service (DaaS) business models
3. User-controlled, verifiable identity—no intermediaries required
The Semantic Web project didn’t fail. It delivered—early.
What it placed on the table remains unmatched as foundational infrastructure for solving critical problems. What was missing wasn’t vision, but timing.
LLMs have now arrived. Which means a Semantic Web-driven evolution of the Web, as broadly used and understood, can finally deliver the critical infrastructure needed to solve real problems.

I do a lot of hands-on work with AI Agent Skills that are loosely coupled with Data Spaces (databases, knowledge bases, filesystems, and APIs). OpenLink Software now has a publicly accessible AI Agent Skills repository on GitHub that I contribute to directly.
If you’re interested in what’s possible across both consumer and enterprise use cases, this repository is for you. Note that everything we build is grounded in open standards—so what we share can be easily reused by anyone.

The links in that important announcement have been fixed i.e., they no longer return 403's.
Thanks for the heads-up!

This feature provides syntax-level compatibility with the SERVICE wikibase:label extension, enabling queries written for the Wikidata Query Service to run more seamlessly on Virtuoso.
In practical terms, developers can reuse existing SPARQL queries that rely on SERVICE wikibase:label—without needing to rewrite label-handling logic—while benefiting from Virtuoso’s performance, flexibility, and deployment options.
