In the academic world, the semantic web is pretty much taken for granted.

This is absolutely not the case. Among the Semantic Web community, the SW might be taken for granted (to some extent), but among the wider CS community, there is a lot of scepticism about whether the SW is feasible. Most of the people I know in the academic database research community dismiss the Semantic Web, for example.
