Slightly different angle, but I do encourage RDFa folk to take a look at 
TiddlyWiki.

http://www.tiddlywiki.com/
see also http://tiddlyresume.com/

This is a wiki that can run from a single locally saved HTML file 
(css/.js etc inline). It can save state locally via file:/// including 
extra files when needed. I installed it via 'wget 
http://osmosoft.com/~psd/TiddlyWikiDeviceAccess/' and then loading that 
into firefox, and it works fine. First time you use it, the browser will 
let you grant it permission to save files locally.

I reckon something like this but with RDFa could make a really nice 
local db. Data could be stored in RDFa or json or both, querying could 
be done through something like 
http://rdfquery.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/demos/markup/markup.html and if 
the persistent form kept semantics explicit (unlike current TiddlyWiki) 
the documents could be easily indexed by other tools. I think 
TiddyWiki's persistent db at the moment is a <pre> with wiki markup, and 
that their notation is close to MediaWiki's. But the on-disk storing 
trick on its own makes this worthy of investigation...

cheers,

Dan
