There, sir, you have a point!

I think a big part of the problem may be that there's been material in the
media for a few years with web services as "the answer", even "the *only*
answer", which keeps attention away from semantic aspects. Problem is,
no-one really bothers to frame the question...

I think Bill dehOra had a nice line :

"The strength of web services is plumbing and transport packaging, the
strength of the semantic web is in standard content models and metadata."
