Sorry, but all I can see here is an example of exactly why I wrote the
e-mail that started this thread in the first place. The above is
basically just gibberish to someone unfamiliar with RDF. It makes
absolutely zero sense whatsoever.

When the concepts of RDF, its (weird) syntax and the different tools
and technologies built on top of it are something you know and
understand well, your perspective on this of course changes. Which is
my point. Most people won't have this understanding and won't share
this perspective. And I think it's important that Hydra appeals as
much to these developers as to RDF connoisseurs.
