Umm... like Xlinks?   Like search engine data?  Like thesauri?

So not a semantic web but a smart librarian?

It's a services-web and the librarian is a service.

The big idea behind the semantic web is that we can do more significant
stuff than turn some words blue and draw lines underneath them. But the
significance is in the eye of the beholder. Qualia nuts notwithstanding, the
semantic stuff is not different from the data stuff or the metadata stuff.
Significance makes the difference.

Most of the tools exist already to cobble this together. What is needed are
some good data structures to create the rich links/notes between bits of
markup.
