NPR, Godel, Semantic Web

I was driving home from the hardware store yesterday when I heard a report 
on NPR about Godel's Incompleteness Theorem. It concluded with a discussion 
of the Semantic Web, with the interviewee making claims that the Semantic 
Web would run into sizable issues with Incompleteness.

They don't appear to have put the interview on their site.  Does anyone 
know where I can find information on this that's somewhat more complex than 
NPR can fit into three minutes but not so complex that I need a mathematics 
PhD?
