This is not how I remember it. Semantic Web wasn't "shouldered aside". At the time of the hype cycle the corporate world was full on board. It was more Semantic Web that spectacularly failed to deliver (against the expectations of the hype cycle) and in many areas was a solution in search of a problem. And pragmatic developers refusing to use something they felt was overengineered, and that coincided with the same feelings around XML which was overused in areas where it shouldn't.
