Interesting indeed!
Not that comparisons always make sense, but Django seems to be far
behind Rails in this respect. See for example
http://www.activerdf.org/.
Except for some posts by Bill de hÓra, RDF support did not get a lot
of attention. Good you're here Bill...
Previously, I had some thoughts about complementing/replacing URL.conf
with RDF graphs, and complementing models.py with RDF graphs.
Wouldn't the use of RDF in URL.conf be a great starting point to map
resources?
