Can anyone recommend any books to catch up on "the vision" of a semantic web? I have gone over some of W3C's RDF stuff, and a couple other things on the web. But from what I have gone over (not much), the complexty of the system make its hard to imagine to be implimented by the normal web developer (not trying to degrade web developers, but question the specifcation). Recommendations?
