The semantic web and education #

I've been wondering when there would be much thought given to the application of the semantic web to education. Terry Anderson's talk at Merlot2003 "Beyond Learning Objects: Towards the Educational Semantic Web" as reported by Greg Ritter [link corrected] is the first detailed example I've seen of work in this direction. I was intrigued that people seemed to recognize the chicken-or-egg nature of the semantic web: how to bootstrap such a complex endeavor? If there are no players, who wants to write editing/authoring tools?

(Future writing on the semantic web will be compiled on my wiki.)
