I thought the addition of elements to HTML5 like nav, main, article, etc. was the end result of the semantic web.


Not really. That stuff does relate to "semantics" in the "Semantic Markup" sense, but it doesn't actually have much to do with the "Semantic Web" per-se. I mean, yeah, there is a weak sort of connection there, but when people talk about the "Semantic Web" they are mostly talking about RDF, whether it's encoded using RDF/XML, N3, Turtle, JSON-LD, or "other". And along with RDF are related technologies like OWL, inference engines that reason over a triplestore, etc.
