Research projects? Research is something coming out of academia, as you know. These are open-source projects with active developer communities. Jena has long been under Apache, RDF4J is now under Eclipse Foundation.

Nothing about this changes the code quality and maintenance status.

I'm not saying that it's dead, worse it's hard to use, bad and unreliable.

Can you answer why large companies are still using Cobol, if it's so "dead"?

Legacy, lack of alternatives, managers that don't have technical expertise but that fall for the marketing.

The semantic web, MASSIVELY overpromises, and MASSIVELY under-delivers. Both truly in a "web-scale" way.
