Thank you for putting in time and effort to the Geminiverse.

That said, I don't think the Semantic Web is a good fit for
Gemini, and the experience of the Semantic Web and linked data on the
WWW suggests that it is a technological dead-end that we are probably
better-off not pursuing.

This article does a good job of summarizing what the promise of the
Semantic Web was, and how it has come to be regarded as "as dead as last
year's roadkill":
