I like the uniformity of N3, though I'm not ready to commit quite yet. I would also hope that we could have an easy way to add custom rules, such as by providing a JavaScript/Python/whatever implementation of a magic predicate, or something along those lines. OTOH, I'm also toying with the idea of a JavaScript-based RDF language. It would require considerably more work to figure out what it should be, but it could immediately have two enormous benefits: - Based on the world's most popular programming language (by a large margin)[1]; and - It could immediately have the "inference" power of a full-fledged programming language, for manipulating RDf. By "inference" I mean broadly any rule or process that takes one set of assertions and produces a new set of assertions.
