Re: RDF scripting / domain language ? eg: print( myResource.rdfs_label )

The closest thing I know of is a python layer that, I think,  Mark
Nottingam did a while ago on the top of rdflib: one can map (RDF)
properties of a resource into the python class and property paradigm and
get to some expression you refer to below. It is called sparta:

http://www.mnot.net/sw/sparta/

A good example is:

http://www.mnot.net/sw/sparta/example.py

Having said that, one has to be careful. Eg, your example below:

myResource.ns_somePredicate[3].rdfs_label

may not be well defined, because there is no notion of 'order' in the
predicates for a resource!

I hope this helps
