There are a couple of activities for client side linked data applications (vie, create.js, rdfquery), I think it would be great to have an apache community building backend independent rdf aware client. With the maven-javascript-plugin and maven central the application can very easily be integrated in the different Apache Semantic Web Applications. A decoupled SparQLed client could be the basis of such a project.
