Hello!
I feel like I can't help much in the current discussion. But just wanted to
chime in
and tell that I'm +1 for a [rdf] component in Apache Commons. As a commons
committer I'd
like to help.
I started watching the GitHub repository and have subscribed to the ongoing
discussion. I'll
tryto contribute in some way; maybe testing and with small patches.
My go-to Maven dependency for RDF, Turtle, N3, working with ontologies,
reasoners, etc,
is Apache Jena. I think it would be very positive to have a common interface
that I could
use in my code (mainly crawlers and data munging for Hadoop jobs) and that
would work
with different implementations.
Thanks!

Since you mention Jena ... :-)
Jena can (and does) support multiple APIs over a common core.
A commons-rdf API can be added along side the existing APIs; that means
it is not a "big bang" to have commons-rdf interfaces supported.
There is a lot more to working with RDF than the RDF API part - SPARQL
engines don't use that API if they want performance and/or scale. (1)
SPARQL queries collections of graphs and (2) for scale+persistence, you
need to work in parts at a level somewhat lower level than java objects,
and closer to the binary of persistence structures.
