When we refer to "containers" in coding, we don't actually mean that they can hold liquid in them. http://www.scienceforseo.com/semantic-web/semantics-web-semantics/ It's natural language understanding (and generation) that has to develop for the language issue to be resolved. For that to happen AI also have to progress. Using structured data wikipedia style and querying via SPARQL is fine, it's what Sem Web is about at the base. The web is unstructured and a notoriously difficult corpus to work with, that's why we try to organise it using RDF and such things. "Bringing meaning to the web" through the semantic web is not the same as "machine natural language understanding".
