Just like is said in the article, tagging content in a web page with tags is the smallest part. (he said something like he's "not going to hold his breath until it's done). The reason being that computers can scree-scrape and guess tags for data (my guess is that this is what Twine has to do since most sites have minimal specialized tags).
In general, the magic happens with the Ontological relationships defined between these tags (which can be an immense amount of data), and the different triggers and responses that can be programmed in algorithms according to such ontological relationships.
I'm no Semantic expert yet, and I'm only here to learn more, but my guess is that eventually robust Semantic applications will be able to be plugged into play by software developers. They'll be able to plug in a particular Ontological tree set and plug in a particular Natural Language Processing algorithm set and connect the two. The natural language processing algorithm would essentially connect different actions users use to the words used in the ontological tree, ultimately delivering responses to, say, a user in a social network based on HIS actions.
If there are some experts out there, I'd love it if they "correct me if I'm wrong."
