A recent publication from Elsevier "Fuzzy Logic and the Semantic Web" takes the story to 2006 and while some of the papers are heavy with mathematics there is a lot of background on how the tecnology and systems will move forward without being focussed on the commerce. There is a review of this book on the HEA website and those with an interest can obtain all the details they need from there. http://www.ics.heacademy.ac.uk/publications/book_reviews/full_review.php?id=229 (Note for Ian - this is my review, but I think it is relevant here.
