If you had auto-discovered semantic tagging, that would be fantastic! For now we can wait :) @Gregory

I've launched a wiki directory that is open to any person, any business, any organization. It's running Semantic Mediawiki, so the "juice" for search engine ranking and ASK queries is built-in. Hoping to attract people who want to say something about themselves (or their enterprise) without worrying about some teenaged vandal messing with their page ("MARK RICHMOND SLEEPS WITH HIS PET FERRET ! ! ! LOLZ ! !"), I've put single-user "protection" on all pages in the Directory that are about a living person or any legal entity. There's still community editing on the non-legal pages, though (like "water", "Lake Michigan", or "heating oil"). That way, everybody can get the benefit of interlinking within the wiki, plus semantic tagging. For those too bothered by either wiki markup or semantic tags, we can create pages for a small fee. Oh, and users are allowed to advertise, sell, promote -- whatever -- on their own Directory page(s). If you're interested in adding your page to the 35,000 we have already, come visit MyWikiBiz.com.

Native markup would be great, but that was part of my point. We need baby steps first, then the big leaps will come.

Of course, a plugin would be nice. Zemanta ain't quite it, though it does an admirable job of trying. As usual, great post.
