Today's equivalent of CBD+URIQA? (was: Re: Schism in the Semantic Web community.)

Ah, nailed. It's too bad I have fallen behind regarding the state of the 
art, but the most horizontally useful idea I've ever stumbled upon re 
semweb was CBD [1] plus URIQA [2]. Essentially CBD defined graph limits 
(what we do with, e.g., lazy collection loading in the object-relational 
world). URIQA was a fitting HTTP extension anyone could implement to 
acquire/exchange/CRUD those graphs.

So, what is today's equivalent of those two?
