The idea is that there is also an identity and trust infrastructure.
Take this and mix with OpenID and you can marginalize spam (as we know it).
I know Slashdotters are fond of some kinds of spam.
After working in Semantic Web technologies for the last few years, and trying to integrate them into the current web, I can verify there's a lot of reasons people valid reasons people are skeptical.
1. True, RDF stores tend to be slow. Triple/RDF stores are sometimes built on top of SQL databases, and (for example) the database has to do a million inner joins per query. Column stores, other native graph stores offer some hope to this problem. 2. True, SPARQL isn't that hard to learn, and it's simpler than expressing the same kind of query in SQL. 3. True, SQL will be around for quite a while. Tables and RDBMSs are well understood and sufficient for many kinds of data which can be structured. Genetic data, NLP and other more atomic data needs a more generalized storage/query structure.
But the W3C is doing a work by preempting the problems that come without standardizing. (Looking at Iraq, pre-emptive strategies aren't always the best.) It's hard now because no one like Apple, or Sun is throwing huge dollars at the standard. But you HP has done a lot of work with Jena. There's OpenRDF, and YARS from DERI Ireland. There's ARC2 which runs in PHP and is easy to work with.
Yes, ANOTHER technology. But my job isn't just making web pages for money. The vision is to bring information to people and improve the stability and standard of life. Technology like this is already used by those with a lot of resources - so it's important to have some level of knowledge like this "for the people". (And no, SPARQL is not communist.... I think.)
IBM is working closely with Giraldo Rivera. The real-time system is similar to the one used to discover Al Capone's hidden treasures. The FP system (False Positive) has always been able to see through wall and recognize something where there is nothing, but now you can expect lots more excitement where there should be none.
Yes, poor is relative. This is why the United States and consumer nations export pollution. All these third world countries which are disaster zones depend on exports to the largest consumer nations. Our computers are responsible for some of the most toxic pollution.
The map would be more interesting if it linked what countries and companies were responsible for the sites. Maybe your house would even show up.

Actually, NLP software does generally use those statistical methods. RDF is a storage and sharing mechanism - that's the big deal.
