While Cyc worked on the knowledge backbone creating "common sense" reasoning
engine and knowledgebase, semantic web can be considered as a front end. (03)
I know this is not exactly "front end", but you get what I mean.
It would be nice to connect both backend and front end but unfortunate
disagreement between the standards does not allow the connection. (04)
As it often happens with the front end, the business logics/rules were not
built-in and are coming up as patches to OWL and complementary standards. (05)
The big thing for SW was the brand itself and its promotion. Simple ideas are
easy to promote and many more people know today about SW.
This helps the whole industry of knowledge engineering, which is quickly
learning to transition from science to practical aspects. (06)
Thoughts? (07)

I agree that more people have heard the terms, but I've seen too many
boom and bust cycles in AI to consider that a good sign. (011)
As a number of knowledgeable people have noticed, the publications on
knowledge representation and related topics in the 1990s were *more*
significant than the majority of "Gee-Whiz, I just learned OWL"
publications during the past few years. (012)

Could you please point to any technical advances with SW technology
that are superior to projects that did not use SW technology? (014)
