Isn't the semantic web super dead? As in dead, buried, and decorated with countless generations of moss and lichen growing on its gravestone?

I find the semantic web stuff is really interesting but it seems to have more success where there are complex up-front data modeling and collaboration requirements, maybe between orgs. There is a Genome database out there for semantic web and I've heard of banks using it in complex fraud detection systems.
