Fun read above - very descriptive and interesting... thanks for sharing!

OWL? RDF? Were you an RPI graduate perhaps? (I wasn't but did visit them once as part of research project).

At the end of the day, triple stores (or quad stores with providence) never quite worked as well as simple property graphs (at least for the problems I was solving). I was never really looking for inference, more like extracting specific sub-graphs, or "colored" graphs, so property attribution was much simpler. Ended up fitting it into a simple relational and performance was quite good; even better than the "best" NoSQL solutions out there at the time.

And, triple stores just seem to require SO MANY relations! RDF vs Property Graphs feels like XML vs JSON. They both can get the job done, but one just feels "easier" than the other.
