I have recently created Restpark: http://lmatteis.github.io/restpark/ It's my way of pushing a standard RESTful interface for accessing RDF data. Still in its very infancy but hopefully it can be something to consider. I personally think the Semantic Web community desperately needs a simpler protocol for querying RDF, along side SPARQL. I have nothing against SPARQL, it's an important standard to have. But something simpler and RESTful needs to be part of the Semantic Web stack. The entire web community is used to consuming APIs as simple HTTP requests (REST). Would you imagine GitHub, Flickr, or any other web-service API actually exposing SQL instead of their RESTful API? It would make things a bit more complicated for third-parties in my opinion, but more importantly it would make things so much more complicated for services to implement. I would love to think what the community thinks about this. Best, Luca
