michael, i'm streching on purpose, because i think you are drawing a
conceptual conclusion from a technical issue. while there might be
technical difficulties to overcome when storing triples/quads in a
relational database the conclusion that EAV (RDF) only makes sense in a
handful of situations can hardly stand.
in my experience the biggest trouble traditional devs are struggling with
is that they basically only change the underlying data model and want to
keep the way they are dealing with it (e.g. applying default techniques
like pojos with their nice getters and setters in a static world).
however we moved silently to stream handlers over the past couple of years
where we don't exactly know when an entity description ends: we moved from
photo to movie..

this is with respect to :

"RDF is deceptively simple. You start with a simple idea and end up with a
complex mess. Or as they say about EAV: "It gives you enough rope to hang
yourself". I don't think this will be popular in the world of tomorrow -
when the tower has fallen."

data governance is hardly anywhere active these days and no matter which
data model you are using it's always the same.
