Smaller and simpler in which respect? Code size, API compexity, memory overhead, something else? If you're looking for a hibernate-like API, there is JenaBean (http://code.google.com/p/jenabean/), which would hide much of the complexity of Jena for you. If you're looking for a simpler triple store API, rdf2go looks like it might abstract complexity away and lets you choose a back-end representation, such as Jena, Sesame, or another. If you just want a different API, you could try Sesame. I never found it to be particularly simpler than Jena, though. I'm partial to using Jena because it has direct classes for OWL and RDF classes, and makes it simpler to generate data in an object-oriented-like way.
