> Does it really matter that a book review (for instance, I have a few) is tagged properly?

If the semantic web was better supported, you could have a semantic annotation precisely identifying the books you are reviewing (whether by ISBN edition or otherwise), and reusers of your content (users, search engines or others) would be able to programmatically associate your review with similar content.

That seems like it would be abused to the point of the semantic information being completely useless.

I guess by abuse you mean ~black-hat SEO?

It seems likely (and perhaps obvious) that:

- people will try to abuse it

- abuse will keep it from supporting naive trust of semantic information published by untrusted third parties

But we're also already roughly in this scenario, and it seems like it might be easier to model and spot/discard abuse of semantic information.
