SW is about data interchange and standardizing semantic representations… it relies on formal, structured taxonomies of All The Nouns and then All The Verbs For Those Nouns.
MCP is structured at the protocol level, but its whole value is the bridge from structured to unstructured: natural language agent intents to specific APIs, domain-specific data to fuzzy natural language.
Semantic Web only works if someone has clearly defined the domain you want to operate in. MCP can work without that kind of definition (an API or prompt needs to exist, but it doesn’t need to be modeled in any way similar to RDF)
> What are you talking about?!
For instance, MCP-to-SPARQL bridge[2] that lets agents query SW data.
Take a look at Semantic Web[1]
