It seems the Semantic Web is truly taking off with MIT/Inrupt.com's SOLID effort - where all communication between decentralized machines is via rdf triples. W

  It may alarm you, but I cannot tell if you are joking or not. Cisco was running Tuple Spaces data stores, in 2001. The queries/unifications were pretty simple, I can't recall their use case. But they were using a system internally and very happy with performance. I never heard about it again, after a couple of conference papers. I could imagine that the project died because it was impossible to sell. Semantic Web researchers find nothing odd in the discovery that a networking company has some understanding of applications of graph theory. But convincing upper management, or customers, that they can compete with Google and Oracle at the same time... no. I hope your project breaks through.

    Tuple space projects were pretty popular commercially. There was a pretty decent implementation in Java[1] and very scalable distributed implementations. The problem is that they are stuck in the space between the flexibility and developer friendliness of databases, and the KISS approach of a simple cache.
