Top 10 semantic web players

Wondering what the top applications are in the emerging semantic web field? The excellent Read/WriteWeb blog published a top 10 list last week. Freebase, Powerset, Twine, AdaptiveBlue, Hakia,Talis, TrueKnowledge, TripIt (an interesting application of the semantic web concepts to the travel world), Clearforest (bought by Reuters) and Spock all made the list. Several of these apps are still in beta.

I'll make a very risky bet...: the space is going to see lots of new entrants in the coming months. Ok, a riskier one: applications by some big names, like Google and Microsoft, will make it in the top 10 list six months from now.

Ps. As a practical demonstration of the claims I made in my "Read 42 blog comments" post, I encourage you to read the comments posted below Read/WriteWeb's post! Lots of practical insight into people and other companies active or interested in that space...
