# The Semantic Web is Dead - Long Live the Semantic Web!
[The Semantic Web](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semantic_Web) is
rarely mentioned these days, so seldom that the declaration of its
death could be met by most of a younger generation of programmers with
a question: "The Semantic Who?"

This change in status is significant, but in some ways the Semantic
Web was on life-support since inception, and it continued to survive
only with the medical intervention of academic departments who had no
need to produce useable software or solve serious industry needs.
That's not to say that Semantic Web technologies *never* served any
industry needs. They certainly did so, but their penetration was
limited. And this limited penetration was not only the result of
ignorance on the part of data architects or software engineers. It was
also the fault of deep problems with the ideas in the
Semantic Web itself.
