The ideal Semantic Web is a beautiful dream, nothing more. Sure it'd be nice to have it around to start worrying about the consequences regarding security, privacy and everything else, but the ideal conceptualization seems to be impossible to implement.
The Semantic Web I see coming is one where many different, limited domains are identified and semantically annotated, allowing some kind of agents to perform well-defined activities for us (i.e., book tickets, make appointments, search info, etc.). This sounds more reasonable but although feasible, it is not an easy thing to do, for several very interesting challenges arise. Hence, the task of the research community should be to make this limited Semantic Web possible.
