I really like RDF in theory, as a lot of its ideas just make sense to me:

- Using URIs to clarify ambiguous IDs and terms

- EAV or subject/verb/object representation for all knowledge

- "Open world" graph where you can munge together facts from different sources

I guess using RDF specifically, instead of just inventing your own graph database with namespaced properties, means using existing RDF tooling and languages like SPARQL, OWL, SHACL etc.

Having looked into the RDF ecosystem to see if I can put something together for a side project inspired by https://paradicms.github.io, it really feels like there's a whole shed of tools out there, but the shed is a bit dingy, you can't really tell the purpose of the oddly-shaped tools you can see, nobody's organised and laid things out in a clear arrangement and, well, everything seems to be written in Java, which shouldn't be a huge issue but really isn't to my taste.
