and there is SemWeb, a C# / .NET library to handle RDF, store and query
RDF date, backend is an SQLite embedded database, but other RDBMSs seem
to be possible:
http://razor.occams.info/code/semweb

We used it for instance in Beagle (C#) to provide an RDF view on the
indexed metadata (experimental):
http://svn.gnome.org/svn/beagle/trunk/beagle/RDFAdapter/

I found it being a quite good implementation of RDF while keeping it
simple as far as possible.

However, Sesame and dotSesame are far more developed.
